The City at Night

The City at Night

Saturday 11 January
Monseigneur Charbonneau - 5pm - 2 Hours
Joshua Renaud
Many people don't think about nighttime being a good time to do photography since there's a lack of light. However, armed with knowledge about your camera's settings and the properties of light, nighttime photography can be a lot of fun.

In this meetup, you'll learn about the best camera settings for nighttime photography. We'll also explore the kinds of light available to us and how to use that light to make some awesome photos. As always, there are exercises that will help you put your new knowledge to work.

    I think it is an excellent opportunity to connect with people who have the same interest, the instructions and advice of our host were excellent, the guidelines were clear and pertinent to awaken the creativity that street photography demanded. I must also say that his excitement and love for photography is contagious.

    Taken on a bike stroll in Sept 2017. At the time I was living in Hochelaga neighbourhood and used to bike to Jacques Drapeau Park whenever I had the chance. One one of these strolls I made note of interesting spots to photograph and needless to say, the Jacques Cartier Bridge offers plenty of opportunities.This picture in particular wasn't planned per se - the spot I had chosen was to capture the Sun dial over the pointy roof of a church. While I was waiting for the dial to reach the exact s

    Title or Location: Brussels, Belgium
    I am a flight attendant and on every trip I always have my camera with me. Having many hours of free time to wander and visit the city I am in is the perfect excuse to go out and shoot life all around the world. This shot was taken at a major European bank headquarter in Brussels. I had seen pictures of the beautiful architecture and I knew I had to go see it for myself. The facade is made of these tall and impressive white columns. That day was a beautiful sunny day in September 2023, and

    I setup bird feeders at home including a hummingbird feeder. They are super active and are use to me being close to them so I grabbed my Canon R5 with my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens and placed myself within 8 feet from the feeder rendering great closeup shots while they feed and the late afternoon sun gives this Rufous hummingbird that beautiful glow

    These Waxwings were in Corby for a while in January of this year, right on the edge of a housing estate. They seemed totally oblivious that we were there. The light was perfect, mid morning. The Rowan trees were on a steep bank which made for no background distractions .Taken with Canon r6, Canon 100-400mm l series 11 lens with 1. 4 extender,
