Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 09 November
Hoover - 10am - 2 Hours
Annie Nguyen
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.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Annie Nguyen
    Annie was born & raised in AL. She first developed her love for photography as a kid early on through her father who would often shoot film. She was completely enamored with this art growing up using her cousin's video camera to capture stills, learning Android/IPhone photography, & anything she could get her hands on to practice more including her dad's digital camera in middle school until she got her first (film) camera in high school. She enjoyed learning how to shoot with film as it was completely different from shooting with digital! It was also during this time when her father instilled more basic principles, such as composition & lighting, to help in her learning/practice as she quickly formed her own style having shoots with friends in high school. Even now, her love still continues for this art as capturing special moments is both a lifelong passion & joy of hers! She graduated from U.A.B. with a bachelor's in public health as helping others is another strong pursuit of hers.

    Annie Nguyen is available for private bookings

    Available most Sundays from 8AM until 12PM.
    Private tutoring, weddings, portraits, & events.

    Title or Location: Lake Guntersville, AL
    I was scouting for eagles nests around Lake Guntersville, AL. I went to a nest on Sunset Drive but I didn't see any eagles working on the nest. There were a flock of ducks on the lake near by, so I decided to take some pictures of them. I have a Nikon Z6II and I was using a Tamron 150 - 600 mm lens with adapter in crop mode. It was an overcast day around 2:30 pm . The ducks were feeding and occasionally would raise out of the water flapping their wings. I edited the the picture in Lightroom sta

    One of the few days the wind was not blowing across the lake. The crystal clear water made for a great mirror like reflection.

    Title or Location: Guntersville, AL
    I am a hobby photographer who enjoys capturing wildlife in its natural habitat, and landscapes. My wildlife subjects are mostly birds, deer, and insects such as dragonflies and butterflies.I was thrilled to hear about a new Bald Eagle nest in Guntersville a few years ago and have made several trips to see it. As with all wildlife, there is no set schedule, so opportunities to photograph them can be hit or miss. But on March 12 of this year all conditions were 'Go'. It was a beautiful sunny

    Title or Location: Anna Maria island Florida
    This photo was taken at Coquina Beach Florida on a little island called Anna Maria. My mom always wanted to watch the sunset with all her kids, but we never could due to some of us living out of state and always working. so on this day we finally go to get together and watch the sunset with her it was a very beautiful day. And I always say there isn't anything like a Florida sunset.

    I was on my way to the store one evening when I literally stopped and pulled over to appreciate the spectacular view! I got out of my car and composed my picture the way I saw it through my eyes and also the way I envisioned the final image to look like. The lighting was absolutely perfect! I had the sun setting through the trees and then there was this perfect ray of light coming down and across the pasture, highlighting the beautiful horses. The final image turned out exactly how I wanted

    Title or Location: Sugarloaf Rock - Western Australia
    I was waiting for the night fall to take the setting Milky Way. The day wasn?t clear so I wasn?t planning on taking any sunset photos. As I was looking for a composition I saw the small pathway between two boulders leading down. Also the small rocks kinda positioned in as lines leading to the main subject - sugarloaf rocks. As the sun goes down towards the horizon golden light started hitting the rocks giving a golden colour to them. I decided that it was a moment I couldn?t miss so started shoo

    Title or Location: Edinburgh 26.10.2024
    photo taken in Edinburgh in one of the city parks, I was visiting with the intention of taking a few photos on the autumn theme. The photographic equipment used was a canon eos 7D mark 2 and a Canon EF 70 - 300 mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM lens. I took the photo from the ground to capture the right angle of view and perspectives, significantly reflecting the dynamics of the shot.
