Street Photography
Saturday 05 April
The Rocks NSW 2000 - 10am - 2 Hours
Sandra Milena Gonzalez Velandia
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.

Nature Photography Meetup
Saturday 05 April
Doonside NSW 2767 - 11:30am - 2 Hours
Yara Kalash
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.

I thought it was a good event. Robert had lots of knowledge & was able to help me with a setting with my Canon camera even though he uses Nikon. The number of participants was just right giving Rob time to get around to each of us many times to help us. I came away with my first Milky Way shot so I was really happy. Thanks for running this astrophotography event. I was 30mins early & Rob had the event signage out early with lighting which made me feel comfortable being in a pitch black area. Thank you Rob.

I was very impressed even before the course started as Rob sent out an email the day before, with the meet up details along with what would be covered during the course. I had a couple of questions and he replied very promptly.
During the course, I was also very impressed how Rob explained the technicalities of astrophotography and took the time to guide and comment on everyone's images throughout the evening. I learned how to use the infinity marker on my lens for focusing and also asked Rob for his advice on lenses and what to consider when choosing lenses. I also had my camera fail on two occasions during the evening and Rob explained how to go about resetting the camera and overcoming the problem.
We had a brilliant night for astrophotography and I came away with quite a number images that looked fanatstic without needing to be edited.
Thank you very much Rob!

Title or Location: Kings Tableland Wentworth Falls
I was shooting sunrise up on the Tablelands with a friend when the distinctive call of the Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos rang through the air. These guys are my holy grail of bird photography - I can never seem to get that perfect shot. Their call was enough to send me running across the rock platform for a lens change and without even the time to change all my settings I was able to get off a few sharp shots as they ascended from the valley below.

This was sunset time at Great Sand Tunes National Park here in Colorado. Any time of time is amazing there to see this natural wonder in person, but sunrise and sunset times I feel are the best as the ever changing shadows just give the dunes such a different look and mood and changes by the minute, I choose a little slower shutter speed just to soften things somewhat and really like how this turned out.
