Street Photography at Night Meetup

Friday 28 March
Hoover - 5pm - 2 Hours
Annie Nguyen
Street photography encompasses a wide range of genres, and this week we'll be exploring the town at night.

At this meetup, we will practise the basics of shooting in a dark environment as we capture candid images in an urban setting.

By the end of this event, you will be more familiar with:
- How to adjust camera settings for low light.
- Using slow shutter speeds to get brighter images and create light trails.
- Capturing RAW images.
- Guidelines for shooting other people and their property in the real world.

Come along to our photo sessions to dust off your camera and get snap-happy with a professional photography instructor.

Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers!

We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in Birmingham.

  • New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month. And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next on is!

  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

  • What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

    The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

    You never stop learning! Annie gave us a very friendly welcome and enquired about the different experiences of the people in the small group. This enabled her to respond to everyone individually and give advice. We were able to try many different techniques, which Annie explained well beforehand. A very instructive evening where even experienced photographers can see and learn different things beside their genre. I would book a Meetup again at any time.

    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.

    This pair of ospreys have had a nest in this soccer field light pole for the past few years. They are having to rebuild it this year. I got this series of shots as one was coming in for a landing but aborted it at the last second.

    Title or Location: Birmingham Botanical Gardens
    The photo was just a simple image of the lily pads at the mirror pond at the Gardens, but during the editing process I rotated the picture and it became much more interesting, resembling something akin to a fungal invader or eldritch creature moving through a shimmering treeline at dusk.

    Title or Location: Elberta Alabama on wolf creek
    Was hanging out with my dad at an RV park that had a boat launch on wolf creek. I went down to just sit by the water and had a nice view down the creek during sunset so I took a few photos with my canon 7D markiii. I was really happy with how the pictures came out

    Title or Location: Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado
    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.
