Street Photography Meetup

Sunday 20 April
Druid Hill Park - 9:30am - 2 Hours
John Heredia
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.

    She was performing on new years eve. I noticed that her head and body were relatively motionless and her bow arm was moving at high speed. I decided to capture the image with her arm in motion blur. That took some experimenting. I was using a Nikon Z8 and a manual focus Voigtlander 50mm f1 lens at f1. I took multiple images ranging from 1/10 to 1/40 of a second. This image was at 1/25 and her bow arm was moving vertically, which turned out to have the most blur. Shooting at f1 has very sh

    The photo was taken on the rocks near Howick in Northumberland. The conditions for sunrise seemed to suit a long exposure to smooth the water out. Northumberland is truly one of the best places to witness sunrises, we are really lucky.

    It was a bitterly cold morning after a heavy frost, but a nice bright start to the day. The small birds were very active searching for food, by midday the light was just right and this little robin flew right in front of me, then just hovered for a couple of seconds. So pleased with how this picture has turned out. Canon R5mkii and Rf100-500 L. Edited with Photoshop and Light room.
