Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 25 March
Independence - 11am - 2 Hours
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. The botanical gardens should make it fairly easy to find things worthy of photographing so that we can learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make them pop!

Architecture Photography Meetup

Architecture Photography Meetup

Sunday 30 April
Public Square, in front of Tower City - 10am - 2 Hours
In this session we will be exploring the storied history of Downtown Cleveland, told through the lens of the architecture, both old and new! Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures. In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use. We will also take some time to explore alternatives to the traditional architecture photography techniques.

Black and White Photography Meetup

Black and White Photography Meetup

Sunday 07 May
Little Italy (Cleveland Heights) - 10am - 2 Hours
Introduction to Black and White Photography. What makes a good black and White shot? We will look at the contrast and using textures, and how these elements relate to, and differ from their counterparts when capturing color photos. How does the camera see the image and how do we create Black and White images in a camera or in post-production. We will look for some good examples and set some exercises. This is a more advanced course and assumes you understand the basics of photography and controlling your camera.
