50mm Lens Meetup

50mm Lens Meetup

Sunday 02 February
Southern Winnipeg - 11:30am - 2 Hours
Rafid Hasim
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.

The City at Night

The City at Night

Sunday 02 March
Downtown Winnipeg - 6:30pm - 2 Hours
Rafid Hasim
Many people don't think about nighttime being a good time to do photography since there's a lack of light. However, armed with knowledge about your camera's settings and the properties of light, nighttime photography can be a lot of fun.

In this meetup, you'll learn about the best camera settings for nighttime photography. We'll also explore the kinds of light available to us and how to use that light to make some awesome photos. As always, there are exercises that will help you put your new knowledge to work.

    The sun was going down and the heat was lessening. The cool of the evening was setting in and that changed the feel of the whole atmosphere. I smiled as the cool evening breeze kissed my face delightfully. The sun was setting. My attention was grabbed by the loud speaker, announcing the next contestant. Squinting in the light, I turned my attention to the arena. With the setting sun lazily giving off its last rays, the perfect setting had arrived. I had been anxious to practice my photography--

    I was driving down highway 3 to do some filming of a terrible accident that required stars to airlift the injured to the hospital. On my way back I noticed this old car in a field amongst three other vehicles rusting away to a beautiful prairie sunset. The time I took to shoot this scenery helped me unwind from the terrible images I had just witnessed. Near Starbuck, Manitoba.This was taken using a Samsung cellphone and only the exposure was edited to bring out the vehicle's appearance.

    Now that I'm retired I have taken up photography as a hobby to explore the many things around us that we all take for granted. I recently purchased a Canon EOS R7 camera and a Canon RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM lens and was out at Lockport Mb photographing the American White Pelican and Ring Billed Gull. I was pleasantly surprised with the results as this was the first time I was trying out the Auto Focus Animal Tracking feature of the camera. I've just recently started trying my hand at photogr

    Driving home after out playing with my camera taking photos on my co-workers farm, I drove past this dam. I've never seen it before as I'm still relatively new to this area. I immediately pulled off the side of the road and grabbed my gear. I am a follower of Gary Gough, a fine art photographer on YouTube. He said one way to learn is to copy someone else's work to learn and get better. So that's what I did. LOL. Using his teachings I combined long shutter speeds with ND filters that allowed me t

    As part of my final project as a fourth-year photography major, I chose to explore and document Calgary?s sculptures, which embody the history and heritage of its people and landscape. One of the highlights of my work is By the Banks of the Bow, one of the largest sculptural artworks in North America. To enhance the visual impact of the image, I utilized Photoshop, particularly to create a dramatic sky that seamlessly complements the dynamism of the horses and the cowboy.This piece celebrate
