Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 02 March
Southern Winnipeg - 11:30am - 2 Hours
Rafid Hasim
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.

    HI! Thanks for picking my picture, and to have my picture recognized!I was just on a walk, sunny day around noon, and saw this Wood Duck swimming not to far from me. It took a while to get that perfect shot with the mirror image of the duck, and the branches.Focal length 300mmF 5.61/250 sec ISO 3200I did crop this picture a little for better composition. Cropping my photos is the only post editing I ever do.

    I was testing out a new backdrop that I purchased for a family mini Christmas shoot that I have coming up. I used to make my children be my models but since they are grown Zeus, my boxer, was such a good boy and was my model. This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L at 24mm, ISO 320, 1/160. I used two Alien B800 strobes with white umbrellas.
