Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 03 June
Trexler Memorial Park - 10am - 2 Hours
Allentown Photography Group
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.

Saturday 01 July
Allentown Rose Gardens - 10am - 2 Hours

In this workshop, we will explore the art of creating striking and thought-provoking images through the use of abstraction. Our experienced instructor will guide you through the process of understanding and applying the principles of abstract photography, including composition, color, and texture.

Street Photography

Street Photography

Saturday 15 July
Trexler Memorial Park - 11am - 2 Hours
Allentown Photography Group
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.
