Castle Park, Colchester - 1pm - 2 Hours

Brijesh Deb
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.

    Got to Wellington point and the tide was nice and low, the sun was blazing and about to set.I walked along the sand bar to try and get the right framing with the sun in the background as the surfers jumped out of the water.The photos looked quite bland out of the camera but once processed I was able to bring out some awesome colors from the sunset.

    Title or Location: John Bell Zoo
    Visiting the John Bell Zoo for the first time while visiting my parents. Enjoyed the zoo so much I can back the very next day. The highlight of my visit was seeing the Lynx kits running and playing in their outdoor habitat. I spend half the day watching and photography of them. In the photo, you see one of the kits finally taking a moment to rest but at the same time sees the size of my camera - Fuji GFX100.
