Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 09 December
Shaw Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63110 - 10am - 2 Hours
Jeremy Ryne Danielson
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: Creve Couer Lake Park - Maryland Heights, MO
    This photo was taken at first light, and I was having a difficult time with the lighting. The heron was over exposed, and the background was under exposed. So, I decided to lean into it and expose the bird properly and severely under expose the background and I really like the results. It definitely draws the focus to the heron and takes away any distraction in the background.

    Title or Location: Missouri Botanical Garden
    The Missouri Botanical Garden is one of my favorite places to visit in the fall. On this day, I was running late due to unforeseen circumstances and was worried I'd miss "golden hour," but as I was coming over the hill to the Japanese Garden, I could see how the clouds were reflecting off the water and realized I made it just in time.

    One of the best images during my recent and first (but not the last for sure) photo safari in Tanzania. We found this female with three adolescents just resting in mid day. Just before the sunset, they decided to get out of the shades of the tree and come into the open area and sit on a mound. While the other three decided to get off the mound, this one hung around a little longer till the sunset colors started to show!

The resulting standing water gives a great reflection in reverse.45mm 1/30 f4

Shot with my Nikon Z8 Nikon Z24-120S 4.0Processed with Photoshop Topaz . I shoot raw so I used several adjustment layers to achieve the desired look.

    Title or Location: Christmas Boxer
    I was testing out a new backdrop that I purchased for a family mini Christmas shoot that I have coming up. I used to make my children be my models but since they are grown Zeus, my boxer, was such a good boy and was my model. This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L at 24mm, ISO 320, 1/160. I used two Alien B800 strobes with white umbrellas.
