Nature Photography Meetup

Northeastern corner of Lafayette - 10:54am - 2 Hours
Lafayette Photography Group
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

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.

    I woke up before the alarm, stirred by the quiet pull of the Gulf just across the street. My wife was still sleeping soundly?it was my birthday weekend after all, and we?d come to Longbeach, Mississippi, to relax. But I couldn't resist the lure of the sunrise. I dressed in silence, slung my camera gear over my shoulder, grabbed a quick cup of coffee from the lobby, and stepped out into the brisk March morning.The wind off the Gulf was sharper than I?d expected, ruffling my hair and making me

It was truly indescribable!

    I went to the lake hoping to see the migration of the white pelicans. From my standpoint, there were very few. However, there were other worthy birds swimming or flying by. I set my eye on this egret as he flew across the water toward where I was standing. I tried my best to catch it in flight. I knew I would lose sight of it because of the tree branches. Not one to miss an opportunity, I kept clicking after I noticed it above me and hearing rustling of the leaves. It wasn't until I got h

    Title or Location: Bald Head Island, North Carolina, USA
    This blossom was on a small Magnolia tree sheltered from the wind and weather on Bald Head Island. When I spied this blossom the sun light was beginning to illuminate the petals. Time time spent waiting for the pictorial moment gave me time to more deeply appreciate the beauty of this transient blossom. Taken with a Nikon D850, tripod, 70-200 in close distance. Single image-no stacking.

    The Oregon Zoo is a symphony of colors, a vibrant tapestry of life from every corner of the world. But on that particular day, it was the intrigue of the flamingo exhibit that caught my attention. As I approached, camera in hand, the light was perfectly casting a glow on the water as the flamingos glided along. Among the flock, one particular bird stood out. It approached me with an equal curiosity as I. It captured me as I captured it. The result, I believe, speaks for itself. It's more than ju

    Gracie is one of our North American Black bears that we have rescued. A private owner kept her as a pet, illegally when she was a cub. She was confiscated by NDOW and was brought to us 19 years ago. Now, she is living her best life with all the love and care she could ask for. I took the photo while assisting with her care that day.
