Street Photography

Saturday 24 May
Turner Street, Lansing - 10am - 2 Hours
Ron Crichton
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

I had intended to photograph "Little Sable Point Lighthouse" waited for a clear sky opportunity at the location, and the moonlight did not exist.So ... here "A serene and enchanting photo of Little Sable Point Lighthouse bathed in soft starlight". The lighthouse stands majestically above a canvas of twinkling stars, its light casting a warm glow into the darkness. The absence of moonlight makes the stars shine even brighter, sprinkling the sky with ma

    Title or Location: Fox Park Observatory in Potterville Michigan
    The Jellyfish Nebula, IC 443, is aptly named...I can see it undulating through the ocean of space, even though it really isn't. It is believed to be the remains of a supernovae and is roughly 5,000 light years from Earth. Photo taken with a dedicated astrocamera, the ZWO 533 MC Pro air cooled camera and the iOptron RC Ritchie -Chretien Telescope. This image is about 6.5 hours of exposure time.

    The Crab nebula, M1, is a beautiful supernovae that has such intricate details...I am still adding imaging time every chance I get I which will bring out even more detail over time. And as an added bonus, the woodcocks are flying at dusk in the field next to the observatory, doing their spiral mating flight and bobbing dance which is very cool to watch while getting ready to take photos of the night sky.

    I love exploring Toronto, where I've been living for a while now, with a camera, or more often just with a mobile phone. And looking for unusual angles. This place in the center of downtown on King Street always looks different depending on the weather, time of day, wind... This time I was shooting late in the evening and waiting for the flag to straighten out.Shot on a Samsung s21 mobile phone, edited in an editor Snapseed/

    This shot was taken along with 3000 others images on my first ever photo shoot during Covid. I hired a model I had seen and had come to do pool shots with another Photographer and he suggested I hire her and conceptualize the shoot. I?m not a professional and had no props but I bought some fabric and I used my leaf blower to make that effect. I periodically go back to those pictures and rework them with my iPhone apps for varying effects. You can see more of my work on Instagram. That day creat

    Thank you for considering my photo for Photo of the Week! I have a number of bottle brush trees in my back yard, and birds love the blossoms when they bloom in the Spring. I usually see numerous hummingbirds and sparrows, but I saw this gorgeous bird one afternoon resting in the branches. I was able to get a couple of shots off before it flew away.
