Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Sunday 04 May
Industrial, Augusta - 10am - 2 Hours
Ryan Phillips
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.

    Steve says...very informative and well delivered. I learned a lot about my camera and taking manual photos. It was hard to remain standing for the entire class time, though.

I love waking up early before the rest of the world is up to get beautiful sunrise photos. I also love meeting new people and being part of the Augusta photography community!

    Planted Zinnias and lots of them this year in my backyard for the butterflies, bees and even hummingbirds. Ive got to see several different kinds and thought this Gulf fritillary fit with this color beyond any other color, Also the position how it landed was spot on for the perfect photo.

    This was one of those shots where you'd rather be lucky than good. I wanted a silhouette of the sea oats at sunrise, and when I went to review the photos later noticed I had captured this bug landing on one of the fronds.

    Title or Location: Edisto Beach, SC
    Probably not the best picture I've ever taken, but definitely one of my favorites. I was brand new to photography and enjoying my cameras so much I was just dying for something interesting to happen around me that I could capture and document. I was walking along the beach in Edisto with my family in October. It was cold and there was almost nobody on the beach except us. Out of nowhere, we heard a lot of commotion a little ways down the beach and were surprised to find this man had caught a li

    Title or Location: Lanark County, Ontario
    This October image of a chipmunk was taken on my Lanark County property, I prefer to photograph small wildlife such as this fellow in a natural rustic setting. I always take my images of wildlife big or small early morning or late afternoon?not only are creatures more active but the low angle of light provides better modeling of the subject. When I frame my subjects, I look for angles that provide uncluttered backgrounds, I leave negative space in the framing to allow for text to be added if nee

    Title or Location: Tanque Verde Valley
    I recently acquired an older exotic lens, probably circa 1980s. It is a Nikon 400mm f2.8 AI-S which is a completely manual lens with no VR. I paired it with my Nikon D850 to see if I could learn to tackle manual focus. The hummingbirds are congregating on the front of my property where agave plants are flowering at this time of year. This makes it easier for me to practice. This Broad-Billed Hummingbird landed on a stick. The camera settings were 1/3200s at f2.8, auto ISO-320. This lens is old,

    Title or Location: This photo was taken at Couta Rocks on the north west coast of Tasmania
    This is one of my favourite places in Tassie, the north west coast. Couta Rocks are in the distance, as is a blanket of stars and a full Moon. It is such a beautiful and powerful place up there, a different world, one filled with spectacular scenery and the power of nature, not to mention the cleanest air on Earth. I long to go back to this amazing place, to share more of it's splendour though my photographic eye.
