Sunset Photography Meetup

Sunset Photography Meetup

Saturday 14 September
Hoover - 5pm - 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 05 October
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.

    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

    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.

    My wife (Terri) of 42 years, taken in 1980-81 with my 35mm Olympus OM1 and 50mm 1.4. It's from a slide taken with Kodachrome 64. She's just as beautiful today as then. Natural light, no makeup, just flawless! I'm not a professional, and would really rather take landscapes.

    It was a cool foggy morning as I was walking the shores of Logan Martin Lake in front of my house. This old boat was tied to the end of the pier, it reminded me of a scene on the Mediterranean Sea. The shadows, fog and stillwaters seem to set the mood.

    Title or Location: Backyard photo taken in Bluff Park
    This photo was taken two summers ago. I had planted some Cosmos seeds, hoping they would grow (because I do not have a green thumb at all). Some started popping up. One morning after an overnight rain, I walked out to look at them and they were covered with tiny raindrops and bees were loving them. I was happy with the fruits of my efforts.

    The North America Nebula derives it's name from it's resemblance to the continental United States, Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico. The nebula is about 2,600 Light years away in the constellation Cygnus, visible during the summer and fall. This narrowband image is a composite of three wavelengths of light known as Hydrogen-alpha, Sulfur II and Oxygen III, with each wavelength assigned to the R, G, or B color channel to compose a full color image.

    I went on a short photography trip recently. Small country towns, canola, salt lakes and more. The weather was dodgy, which made it even more interesting.

    On this dewy, fresh morning something compelled me to grab my camera and take a picture as sandhill cranes strolling gracefully through the front yard. Harriet pictured here is, as always, accompanied by Ozzie and their offspring of the season. They have been welcomed morning coffee mates for the last 12 years. The picture captures the calm presence and the dancer's restlessness of these beautiful visitors.

    The Great Reno Balloon Race was this weekend. About a dozen balloon are up and aglow before dawn. This beautiful one was my favorite. Most shooting were using auto white balance, cloudy, or 5600K to keep the yellow cast from the flame. I prefer a white balance which retains the true colors of the balloons, especially for this balloon.
