Macro Photography Meetup

Macro Photography Meetup

Saturday 21 June
Cleveland Cultural Gardens - 10am - 2 Hours
Chris S.
Macro photography is a unique form of photography that involves photographing small objects to make them look life-sized or more significant in the photo. The usual subjects include flowers and small insects, which we don't normally get to see up close with the naked eye.

The class will start when the insects are more active. So be ready to explore and capture breathe-taking macro images.

Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 19 July
Elyria, Ohio - 2pm - 2 Hours
Chris S.
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.

    A fun event. Good location. Note: We were right on Lake Erie and it was a chilly , windy morning. So the first half of class I was distracting by the cold. The instructor challenged us to try new methods with our cameras. I had fun and may have learned a bit about my camera

    I am new to photography, and this was my very first attempt at a golden hour sunset photo. I had arrived plenty early to set up, but quickly got discouraged because I could not seem to get the exposure right when shooting into the sun. Just when I was ready to give up, the sun got low enough, and suddenly everything exploded with color. I was very happy with the photo at first, but now wish I had moved more to my left so I could cut the bridge out of the image. That white thing across the wa

    After a long weekend trip in Olympic National Park, I gratefully stumbled upon this adorable diner. In addition to a tasty breakfast, I was amazed at the decor featuring hundreds of old license plates, photographs, and memorabilia. The light was streaming through the door, perfectly landing on the old leather chairs to make for a great scene. Taken with Minolta X-700 and Kodak Delta 100

    I'm excited to share this photograph with you. It's a picture of my Drifting USA Mustang model car, taken in my home studio one?evening. I was feeling uninspired, and decided to turn my attention to my collection of miniature vehicles. This little Mustang particularly caught my eye.The image itself is a result of a fairly intricate setup. I used my Canon EOS R6 Mark II, employing a shutter speed of 1/200th of a second, an aperture of f/8, and a focal length of 45mm. For lighting, I utilized
