50mm Lens Meetup

Saturday 19 July
Tamarama NSW 2026 - 10am - 2 Hours
Eastern Suburbs Photography Group
Bikesh L. Shrestha
The 50mm lens is one of the flexible and useful lenses in any photographer’s gear bag. It is neither a wide-angle or telephoto lens, but allows the camera to see on the same scale as your eye. As such, it can be used for a variety of styles, from landscape and street photography to portrait and product photography. In this meetup, we’ll review the basic camera settings. We’ll then cover some of the advantages of shooting with a prime lens, and some basic techniques to using the 50mm lens. As always, there will be ample opportunities for you to put your new knowledge into practice.

Sydney Photography Group
Sandra Milena Gonzalez Velandia
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.

    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.
