Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 01 February
Mrs Macquaries Road - 10am - 2 Hours
North Shore Photography Group
Peace Brown
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.

    I thought it was a good event. Robert had lots of knowledge & was able to help me with a setting with my Canon camera even though he uses Nikon. The number of participants was just right giving Rob time to get around to each of us many times to help us. I came away with my first Milky Way shot so I was really happy. Thanks for running this astrophotography event. I was 30mins early & Rob had the event signage out early with lighting which made me feel comfortable being in a pitch black area. Thank you Rob.

    I was very impressed even before the course started as Rob sent out an email the day before, with the meet up details along with what would be covered during the course. I had a couple of questions and he replied very promptly. During the course, I was also very impressed how Rob explained the technicalities of astrophotography and took the time to guide and comment on everyone's images throughout the evening. I learned how to use the infinity marker on my lens for focusing and also asked Rob for his advice on lenses and what to consider when choosing lenses. I also had my camera fail on two occasions during the evening and Rob explained how to go about resetting the camera and overcoming the problem. We had a brilliant night for astrophotography and I came away with quite a number images that looked fanatstic without needing to be edited. Thank you very much Rob!

    Title or Location: Kings Tableland Wentworth Falls
    I was shooting sunrise up on the Tablelands with a friend when the distinctive call of the Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos rang through the air. These guys are my holy grail of bird photography - I can never seem to get that perfect shot. Their call was enough to send me running across the rock platform for a lens change and without even the time to change all my settings I was able to get off a few sharp shots as they ascended from the valley below.

The rainbow persisted for over an hour, allowing time to wade out into the surf to get the rainbow positioned just right for a photograph. I had to watch for breaking waves behind me while taking photographs to avoid bring dunked and I had to tun for it several times. Happily it all worked out and I captured a great images.

    The photo was taken at Emsworth, a very picturesque harbour on the south coast of England. The sea was incredibly calm making it like a mirror, and the morning light was soft and warm in colour. I was stood on the harbour wall and framed the shot to include the sunken boat to give it scale and perspective.
