Nature Photography Meetup
Saturday 29 April
Montreal Botanical Garden - 11am - 2 Hours
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. The botanical gardens should make it fairly easy to find things worthy of photographing so that we can learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make them pop!

Urban Industrial Photo Walk
Saturday 03 June
Marche Atwater - 11am - 2 Hours
This class will be an exciting split between exploring one location and walking! We'll start by spending half the class wandering the farmer stalls of Marche Atwater. For the second portion of the class, we'll walk up towards Griffintown along the canal. This will give us a super interesting contrast between showcasing local producers and the industrial landscape surrounding them.
Street Photography
Saturday 17 June
Jean-Talon Market - 1pm - 2 Hours
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.
We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.
