The City at Night

The City at Night

Sunday 26 January
Halifax - 6pm - 2 Hours
Ramona Wisher
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.

    What I enjoy about these events (this is my 3rd one) is the challenges. Ramona does a good job of developing the challenges and they force you to look at things in a different way. If you practice this, in the long run it will make you a better photographer.

    Title or Location: Shubie Park Trail walk
    It was my birthday so we visited the park for fun and it was spring so there were lots of plants coming back to life after winter. And on that day the temp was 23 degrees which is rare in Nova scotia. So i decided to capture this shot against the sun to show how the life is coming back in the presence of sun. Sun = Life.

    Title or Location: Portsmouth Dockyard
    The photo was taken at Emsworth, a very picturesque harbour on the south coast of England. The sea was incredibly calm making it like a mirror, and the morning light was soft and warm in colour. I was stood on the harbour wall and framed the shot to include the sunken boat to give it scale and perspective.

    There are a few crows living around my place. Those two became quite tame and stayed in my garden. They always got a few tidbits and as a thank you they gave me little gifts. So I really enjoyed their company.

    Title or Location:
    The Brooklyn Bridge with the Empire State Building as viewed from DUMBO. I've been to NYC once before but this was my first time since starting photography. When I learned of this spot I knew I had to get my own photo of the iconic view. I only had a few lenses to choose from and a huge crowd of people to work around trying to get their own photos. The photo still turned out incredible if I may say.
