Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 06 September
University Place - 11am - 2 Hours
Tacoma Photography Group
Anthony Culanag
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.

    Shooting primarily in film, I enjoy the craft that goes into photography. The effort put into manually adjusting the settings of the camera to create different moods and imagery is so interesting to me. I find the most joy shooting compositions that are candid and therefore usually feel authentic. I've become very appreciative for photography and how it's become a practice of gratitude for me. Noticing not just the big, but little moments. Whether the experience is shared or I'm solo, photography has provided me with the gift of being present and viewing the world around me with an open mind.

    I've made multiple attempts at this picture trying to make something suitable for a wall art panoramic. My first few chances it did not have enough pixels. So when I was lucky enough to go for work I walked the 3 miles to try it again. I was fortunate to have the sun break through and create two different rainbows and a fantastic scene for all. I sat there for 2 hours hours capturing the same image in different phases of the evening and this is my favorite as it highlights the red, white and
