Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 08 February
Yarra Bend Boulevard - 10am - 2 Hours
Melbourne Photography Group
Jodie Grillmeier
Many professional offices and businesses have beautiful prints on their walls that showcase nature, like vibrant fields of flowers, a butterfly resting on a leaf, or a single dew drop glistening on a rose petal. These stunning images remind us of the beauty all around us; it just takes a special eye to notice and capture these little pieces of nature as art! Together, we'll explore how to use different angles, play with light and shadows, and choose the perfect settings to really make our subjects shine. Let's unleash our creativity and have some fun with photography!

Photographing Reflections

Photographing Reflections

Saturday 22 February
Yarra Bend Boulevard - 10am - 2 Hours
Melbourne Photography Group
Jodie Grillmeier
We will be using natural water reflections and seeking out man-made reflective surfaces in the area to explore how we can use reflections to add depth and intrigue to our images. Reflections can help us to show our subject from an unusual, or from multiple, points of view. We can use reflections to abstract our subject or to make perfect mirror images. We'll even have a look at how we can create our own reflections when there are none around.

Using Light & Shadow in Photography

Using Light & Shadow in Photography

Saturday 01 March
Northcote, Victoria - 10am - 2 Hours
Melbourne Photography Group
Jodie Grillmeier
Light and shadow photography is a type of photography that focuses on capturing the interplay between light and shadow in a particular scene. This style of photography often produces dramatic and compelling images that can evoke strong emotions in the viewer.

Harsh light and the contrast between light and shadow can provide some interesting photo
opportunities, as well as some challenges!

In this meetup, we will be looking at how you can use your camera's settings to nail the exposure.

    Bilgesu was excellent, really relaxed and knowledgeable about all things photography. The weather was a bit ordinary on the day so we didn't get many magical shots but that is out of everyones control and it was great to get my camera out and use it after a few months. I enjoyed the experience.

    I enjoy long exposure photography usually, but whilst trying to capture the rustic colours of the pier, I noticed the waves were slightly picking up, which prompted me to capture that moment of the waves crashing down.

    We always come down to the peninsula on a regular basis, and when I do, I always bring my camera along to capture the moments.This time I was gravitated to the lighthouse because of the puddle in front of it, which made for a nice reflection photo.Not only did I capture the reflection, I even turned the photo upside down to give it a different perspective.

It?s awesome during the day but even more magical at night as you can see. I?d recommend a visit here just for the views to anyone.

    Title or Location: Cotswold Wildlife Park
    I loved the detail on this lizard. However, the background was very similar to the lizard body colour. In Lightroom I picked a background preset which toned it down somewhat, but not enough. So created a mask and turned down the background even further. A little ?pop? on the lizard skin and I was finished. I hope you like it.
