Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Sunday 20 April
Lytham - 10:30am - 2 Hours
Blackpool Photography Group
Jayne Walsh
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.


In this meetup we're providing the opportunity to capture on film the ornate gardens, the Lake and Curtains Pond. With over 4 km of paths we can find pretty, quiet areas of the grounds to photograph the colours of Autumn.

    On the way back from a waterfall photo I saw this little scenery.As the sun goes down, it painted the fog, and created a wonderful golden mist, which covered the field. I stood there for a while and wondered if I can make a composition, so I ended up to shoot as best as I can.

    As the sun starts to set, the Bush Babies of Crocodile Bridge rest camp awaken. I sat patiently by the pole in the fence, waiting for them to emerge. These nocturnal beauties cautiously pop their heads up, then back down, before jumping off into the setting sky, eager for their night ahead.
