Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 16 August
Waterloo - 10am - 2 Hours
Kitchener Photography Group
Hailey Minda
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.

Street Photography

Saturday 23 August
Victoria Park - 11am - 2 Hours
Kitchener Photography Group
Hailey Minda
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    Jamal was great. Very knowledgeable, low key and supportive. The pace of the walk was just right-not too slow and not too fast. Good to do this as part of a group. Thanks!!

    I found the host, Jamal, to be very knowledgeable and informative. He to the time to explain what it was we were trying to do and different ways to achieve that. He also took time to listen to and answer questions.

    I thought this event went very well. The fact there were only 3 participants gave the instructor ample time to help where needed. Frank gave good ideas, and inspiration. I find going ?solo? on these types of photo exercises a bit intimidating, but as a small group it confidence was better, and yet we were small enough that we didn?t hinder our subject matter. We more or less blended in.

    This is a landscape photo taken at one of the run-off ponds in my neighborhood. I appreciate that the city has developed these run-off ponds and allowed pollinator gardens to grow around them. They are enjoyed by the residents, especially by the children.

    I enjoy macro photography highlighting parts of everyday object wee usually overlook. In this picture, I noted the opening of the white rose petals to reveal the reds and oranges of the stamens and pistil against a golden glow formed from the light diffusing through the scene, like the opening of a painted paper fan.
