Photographing Reflections

Photographing Reflections

Saturday 26 October
Dexter Ave Suite - 4:30pm - 2 Hours
Elizabeth Anne Chappell
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.

Museum Dr - 2pm - 2 Hours

Come and join us as we explore composition in photography. Composition is one of the most critical element in photography. Composition is how a photographer arranges the visual elements within their image, frame.

Composition is what guides our eye through an image and gives importance to the subject. It creates the story for the viewer and how we as photographers convey that message.

    Title or Location: Bird Brain Conspiracy, Montgomery, AL
    I thought this composition was a gift from God reflecting our state of affairs in this country. Notice we have plenty to eat and so do they in this picture. Instead it seems the bird doesn't partake in the food seems concerned about an inanimate object while claiming the prize. In my view a match to our conspiracy craziness on the web. The bystanding bird is telling him to get on with the eating instead of imagining the worst. It's not a conspiracy bird brain, the food is for us. Nikon D4, 80-

    Title or Location: How Bridge Cemetery
    I heard there was a flock of Bohemian waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) at Howbridge Cemetery Atherton. Being a cemetery setting respect and care was taken using long lens from footpath. This bird is extremely photogenic and looks like a painting, the feathers are so fine the photos of them appear to be over edited but all I do is maybe crop and lightning.I always shoot in Raw info here Canon 7D 400mm f5.6 1/250, ISO500

    Title or Location: Home Yard
    I setup bird feeders at home including a hummingbird feeder. They are super active and are use to me being close to them so I grabbed my Canon R5 with my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens and placed myself within 8 feet from the feeder rendering great closeup shots while they feed and the late afternoon sun gives this Rufous hummingbird that beautiful glow
