Sunset Photography Meetup

Sunset Photography Meetup

Saturday 12 October
Hoover - 4:30pm - 2 Hours

Learn how to use the proper settings to capture a beautiful sunset.

Beyond just being a natural phenomenon, the setting of the sun symbolizes many things to a variety or people and cultures. The setting of the sun represents the completion of a day's work, so it represents the opportunity to rest.

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: 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.

    Title or Location: Indian Springs
    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: Birmingham Botanical gardens
    This photo was taken on a spur of the moment trip of the botanical garden one afternoon after I had completed a bad day at work. It was taken using a Nikon D5600 camera with a 50mm prime lens set to f2.0 . The picture makes me realize that there is beauty in life regardless of the circumstances.

    Since moving to Alabama from Florida I have become a little obsessed with gardening! This picture was taken in my garden when everything was in full bloom. This has sparked an interest in taking more botanical and nature photos.

    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

    These Waxwings were in Corby for a while in January of this year, right on the edge of a housing estate. They seemed totally oblivious that we were there. The light was perfect, mid morning. The Rowan trees were on a steep bank which made for no background distractions .Taken with Canon r6, Canon 100-400mm l series 11 lens with 1. 4 extender,
