Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 14 June
Northeastern corner of Lafayette - 10:54am - 2 Hours
Mallory Stanford
Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture nature in a visually interesting way. We will be looking at composition, focus, and colour.

Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

Composition in the Park

Composition in the Park

Saturday 12 July
S College Road - 10am - 2 Hours
Mallory Stanford
Come and join us as we explore composition in photography.

Composition is one of the most critical element in photography. Composition is how a photographer arranges the visual elements within their image, frame. I promise you that if you search for information on composition you will find plenty You will find formal rules, opinion, some of which you can trace back to historical art movements and painters.

Even in the digital world, composition remains the key to creating strong images. Composition is what guides our eye through an image and gives importance to the subject. It creates the story for the viewer and how we as photographers convey that message.

This meetup will explore composition using our frame and tools available to us as the photographer.

    Just watching getting ready to shoot wild birds I noticed Comarants and Pelicans were fighting over fish. Well this Cormorant snuck this catfish out and flew almost out of my range. This was a lucky shot with the 800 mm lens as a nature photographer you gotta be ready for anything.

    Title or Location: Girard Park
    While I was out photographing the new ducks arriving in Girard, a flock of pigeons started dancing overhead. I quickly snapped a shot without thinking much about it, but it turned out incredible! Later, as I was editing my other photos, I decided to experiment with the color palette for fun and ended up creating this stunning piece with rich turquoise tones.

    Title or Location: Leicester, England.
    Once a month, or so, I would go into my home town of Leicester early on a Sunday morning to take some photos before there were too many people around. This particular morning there was light rain and the sun was trying to break through. The scene was great but the sky was uninspiring so a better sky was added and then processed in DXO's NIK Silver Efex.The camera was my trusty Ricoh GRIII which has a great lens and small enough to put in your pocket.
