Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 03 May
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.

    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.

    Title or Location: Birmingham Botantical Gardens
    Photo was taken on a Sony a7riii with a sigma 28-70mm f2.8 contemporary lens. This exact shot was 1/100, f4.0, 61.7mm, iso 100. This day I was hanging out with friends at the Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival. This was my first real outing with my new to me upgraded camera. I came from Canon so it has been a learning process. This particular photo was actually taken at the market where you can buy plants to take home. I really just thought the flower was pretty and wanted to snap a shot.

    The late afternoon sun can in the canyons of Zion National Park can give you a dark foreground but bright backgrounds. This looks like a mountain of gold through the river down the Narrows Trail. It was an unexpected shot of my daughter looking into the canyon.

    A photo of a Tree Swallow taken during a walk through the meadowlands. These birds are extremely quick and erratic often difficult to photograph. Luckily this one decided to take a little posing break and allowed me a nice shot. Taken with my Canon R5 with a Sigma 150-600 mm lens.

    Title or Location: Leicester, England.
    Once a month, or so, I would go into my home town of Leicester early on a Sunday morning to take some photos before there were too many people around. This particular morning there was light rain and the sun was trying to break through. The scene was great but the sky was uninspiring so a better sky was added and then processed in DXO's NIK Silver Efex.The camera was my trusty Ricoh GRIII which has a great lens and small enough to put in your pocket.
