Nature Photography Meetup

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

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

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.

    I was a bit nervous and shy, I was also feeling insecure with my point and go camera. The facilitator made me feel welcomed and secure with my camera, I thoroughly enjoyed the event. My goal was to get out of my comfort zone and enjoy a hobby that I have enjoyed all my life, Thank you Joshua!

    Joshua Renaud
    Joshua has been photographing for 10 years. He fell in love with photography at university, so much so that he decided to get a degree in photo!

    He absolutely loves helping people how to use their cameras more effectively and helping them develop a better eye so as to take better photos. He personally loves taking pictures of architecture, trees, and sublime sunlight. Josh is currently exploring themes of memory, nostalgia, home, inside vs. outside space, and time.
