Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 08 February
Between Perkins Rd and Highland Rd - 10am - 2 Hours
Jason Woods
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.

Understanding Metering

Understanding Metering

Saturday 05 April
LA 70801 - 10am - 2 Hours
Jason Woods
Metering is an incredibly important aspect of photography to grasp. You might have heard about the exposure triangle but I believe we should be talking about an exposure square with metering being the forth side as it is equally as important to getting the correct exposure as your aperture, ISO and shutter speed.
We will explore how and when to use each of the metering options and how to use it to get some creative lighting in your shots.

    I booked a cabin in the woods of Murfreesboro, Arkansas on the bank of the Little Missouri River almost 2 years ago......just so we could be in the path of totality. Me and my wife, all three kids, one son-in-law, as well as my brother-in-law and his wife, all took the trip there....just to witness this amazing event.....and we were not disappointed! 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

    The sun rises directly between the east and west spans of Interstate 10 here two days out of the year....once on it's way north as the days are getting longer, and again as the sun moves south as the days get shorter. I try very hard to be in this spot for both days.....hoping for a colorful sunrise as the sun peeks above the horizon!

    Driving home after out playing with my camera taking photos on my co-workers farm, I drove past this dam. I've never seen it before as I'm still relatively new to this area. I immediately pulled off the side of the road and grabbed my gear. I am a follower of Gary Gough, a fine art photographer on YouTube. He said one way to learn is to copy someone else's work to learn and get better. So that's what I did. LOL. Using his teachings I combined long shutter speeds with ND filters that allowed me t

    As part of my final project as a fourth-year photography major, I chose to explore and document Calgary?s sculptures, which embody the history and heritage of its people and landscape. One of the highlights of my work is By the Banks of the Bow, one of the largest sculptural artworks in North America. To enhance the visual impact of the image, I utilized Photoshop, particularly to create a dramatic sky that seamlessly complements the dynamism of the horses and the cowboy.This piece celebrate

It?s awesome during the day but even more magical at night as you can see. I?d recommend a visit here just for the views to anyone.
