Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 27 September
Hoover - 10am - 2 Hours
Birmingham Photography Group
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.

Title or Location: Brisbane, Australia
I painted this one for a watercolour weekly challenge on FB where the subject was fish. My goldfish is looking up towards daylight. I spattered clean water on damp paint to give the impression of light dispersion in shallow water. I like the effect of clean water pushing paint away to add interest and light.

Title or Location: "Loving Lessons"
This A3 watercolor was done as a commission for a Texas based charity called Leave it for the Pooch. They approached me in 2021 and asked if I would like to donate some of my work for their yearly raffle that raises money for animal rescue. I was very happy to be a part of this and for the last 4 years have done a special piece just for this auction and send to Texas as my contribution for this cause. "Loving Lessons" is this years painting. My daughter has always had a special bond with

Title or Location: ?Emptying the Sea?
I had taken my grand children to the beach in Buckroe, Virginia. My three year old granddaughter, Mia was quite serious and intent on getting all the water she could in her little red pail to haul it back on the beach to a sand castle she was building. Her actions were so beautifully innocent and yet filled with determination. I just had to capture the moment.
