Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 21 October
287 Pancake Hollow Rd. Highland - 1pm - 2 Hours
Poughkeepsie Photography Group
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.

    Galina Vyrva
    Hi, my name is Galina Vyrva. I started photographing on a film camera before it came back in fashion in the 2020th. Beginning with conceptual photography, I moved to fashion and editorial photography to experiment with style, forms, light, and materials. Now working with film (35mm and 120mm format) and digital cameras, I shoot in studios and outside, using natural and studio lighting techniques. I will be happy to share my knowledge and experience with people who are looking for a new photographic hobby or profession.

    Title or Location: Rockefeller State Park, Pleasantville, NY
    It was my first visit to this particular part of the Rockefeller State Preserve. Upon entering this more secluded part of the park, a beautiful red tailed hawk welcomed me by flying to a tree immediately in front of me. I consider visits like these miracles! I raised my camera and captured the photo as the bird posed majestically! From there, the red tail flew from tree to tree until it swooped down to a grassy area and caught a vole. It then flew into another nearby tree and enjoyed its snack
