Westside Connection - 10am - 2 Hours
Grand Rapids Photography Group
Autumn Perez
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.

Street Photography

Sunday 19 October
Downtown Grand Rapids - 10am - 2 Hours
Grand Rapids Photography Group
Autumn Perez
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.

    At first light when the dew point is optimal you can find cob webs laden with droplets that glisten in the sun. This shot was captured in a horse pasture, taking special care to keep the sensor plane parallel with the web pattern.DSLR Nikon - Tamron 90mm 2.8 1:1 lens

    This Mantis was near the door of my Studio one morning so I captured it and brought it in for a formal portrait with studio lighting. For a natural background, I went back out and cut a few branches off a small tree to hang behind him.Nikon DSLR - Tamron 90mm 2.8, 1:1 - 4 White Lightning Strobes & 1 Reflector

    This Flowering Dogwood is on my own home property. This little tree survived a violent wind storm (tornado 1 mile away) that is why I was so happy to take this picture. Photo taken with Leica Q3 (on macro setting), hand held.

    Thanks to the previous heatwave we just endured the skies had remained cloud free for one night allowing me to finally capture a great shot of the moon! Taken very late at night with my Canon 90D, I was very excited to edit and post. As Nick frost and Simon pegg once said "Hows that for a slice of fried gold"
