Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 12 October
E Sheperd Ave - 10am - 2 Hours
Justin Phillips
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.

    Justin Phillips
    Hello, My name is Justin. I sometimes go by J.W. I have been shooting for roughly 20-25 years. I enjoy many types of photography and I especially love editing photos. I was born with a disease which cause me to go blind in one eye at an early age. I discovered because of this I saw the world a little different then most. I also found that the best way for me to share what I saw was through the single lens of a camera.

    I heard about a launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 Rocket launch from the Vandenberg launch site Oct 2018 and I did not think I would see it from my location in the foothills of Coarsegold, Ca. I decided to go ahead and get my Nikon D7500, 10mm-24mm lens ready just in case. I was happy that I was ready for this shot. The orange dot below the rocket is the booster after jettison headed back to Earth and landed on a barge out in the ocean off the Southern California Coast.

    Downtown Fresno is a great source for urban landscape photography. While walking near the train tracks I noticed a wall had recently been constructed parallel to the tracks with a rectangular opening. As I got closer I could see the framed image...I could not resist taking the picture. I used my Ricoh GRiiix 26mm (40mm equivalent), set at f/7.1, 1/1600sec, ISO 400.

    Comet 12/P Pons-Brooks traveling at 40,000mph as it makes its way through our solar system. It'll be another 71 years before Pons-Brooks makes its way through here again.Comets are an interesting challenge because they travel at a different speed and direction from everything around them. Imagine taking a long exposure of two cars traveling different directions and speed. How not to blur the stars or the comet can be a challenge. This was 23x180sec frames stacked.

    I love doing street photography. I generally look for street scenes that tell a story. This particular photo was taken in the tourist area of Monterey. I edited the photo in Lightroom, primarily a little cropping and adjusting white balance, B&W conversion, contrast, etc. I took the photo with my trusty Ricoh griiix, 26mm (40mm equivalent), 1/800 sec, f/6.3, ISO 400.

    This shot was taken on my first day into this trip. My wife and I decided to spend Labor Day weekend in the mountains which was wonderful but also very busy which isn't the best for wildlife photography. However, I did come away with some good shots from my outing (mostly landscape) and this is by far one of my favorite. I love how the light is striking the deer's face while he is mostly shrouded in shadow. I took this with a Nikon 200-500mm @ 500, 1/160s, ISO 100 and f6.3. I shot this across th

    Was out looking for anything to photograph on one my few days off from work. So I went to the plot of land where I deer hunt. Any wild flower that may still be in bloom, insects, things like that. Tons of grasshoppers everywhere and I came across this fella. I didn't realize he possibly had a wounded left wing until I processed the photos. No wonder he sat thru many different angles, exposures, and me getting up in his face and didn't offer to fly off.

    I saw the sky start to get some color after looking too overcast. I grabbed my gear and went down to the road behind where I live. I had gotten a few shots of the headlights going the other way and it was too much of a contrast with the sky. I got set up, with the camera low to the ground and got a couple test shots. Then shot this at 5 seconds.
