Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Sunday 08 September
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.

    Brent was a fantastic instructor. He is knowledgable and passionate about photohraphy. He answered all questions without ever making us feel like we asked a dumb question. The River Walk was beautiful, I had never been there before. I am now not afraid of manual mode.

    I'm a local photographer in Augusta, Georgia that loves wildlife and nature. I appreciate all genres of photography and try to get out with my camera as much as I possibly can. 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!

    Ryan Phillips is available for private bookings

    Available mostly on Sundays. Maybe Saturdays if schedule permits.

    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.

    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

    This shot was taken on my first day into this trip. My wife and I decided to spend Labor Day weekend in the mountains which was wonderful but also very busy which isn't the best for wildlife photography. However, I did come away with some good shots from my outing (mostly landscape) and this is by far one of my favorite. I love how the light is striking the deer's face while he is mostly shrouded in shadow. I took this with a Nikon 200-500mm @ 500, 1/160s, ISO 100 and f6.3. I shot this across th

    Was out looking for anything to photograph on one my few days off from work. So I went to the plot of land where I deer hunt. Any wild flower that may still be in bloom, insects, things like that. Tons of grasshoppers everywhere and I came across this fella. I didn't realize he possibly had a wounded left wing until I processed the photos. No wonder he sat thru many different angles, exposures, and me getting up in his face and didn't offer to fly off. LOL

    I saw the sky start to get some color after looking too overcast. I grabbed my gear and went down to the road behind where I live. I had gotten a few shots of the headlights going the other way and it was too much of a contrast with the sky. I got set up, with the camera low to the ground and got a couple test shots. Then shot this at 5 seconds.
