Transition into Autumn Photography

Transition into Autumn Photography

Saturday 14 September
Castle Bromwich - 11am - 2 Hours
Birmingham Photography Group
Martin Tierney
Autumn is such a wonderful time of year for capturing the beauty of nature through photography. It's a season that evokes feelings of warmth, coziness, and tranquility. As winter approaches, there's a sense of anticipation and change in the air, especially when the orange leaves meet the first frost. It's a great opportunity to capture these seasonal transitions and enhance the beauty of autumn in your photographs. I find that some of the most captivating autumn photos feature subjects that seamlessly blend in with their surroundings, creating a harmonious and serene atmosphere. In photography, just like in any form of art, there's such beauty in creating images that stand as pieces of art in their own right, without the need for explanation or context. The photo itself is a pure expression of creativity and emotion.The gardens are spacious and long, offering countless opportunities for photography, so bring a variety of lenses.

Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

    My name is Sahar and I'm so excited to be part of the West Bromwich team. ?

    Meetups with me are laidback, fun, and inclusive outings to foster our creativity and connect our voices with the world around us. ?

    I would describe my photography as dreamy, nostalgic, and set specific! I value building character and a sense of time and place. I'm interested in dramaturgy and work as a production designer so I enjoy shooting images that evoke a certain era or cultural reference. I love doing art / fashion portraits and landscapes / nature. I'm very confident with double exposure and can teach you how to. ? Colour, composition, storytelling, and conceptualism are things that I enjoy focusing on. I prefer to shoot in film. I own a canon rebel and smena 8m. I use various films, but my favorite film to use is dubblefilm. ?

    Can't wait to meet you!

    I was in the park with my 8yr old daughter at around 10am. We are having some challenges in life as a family. I was walking along in my own worries when I came across this beautiful Dandelion standing alone in its niche. It was a windy cloudy day and there it was facing turmoil in wind but standing steadfast, unfaltered, refusing to be blown away. In that moment it reminded me to remain resilient in life and to be the support my child needs to face her challenges but also to teach her to devel

    I was attracted by the neon pink handrails on the stairs, that provide an alternative way up to the platform from street level, and took a few images around the base and on the stairs, before photographing the stark rectangular lift doors. It was a lucky encounter with the woman and her umbrella using the stairs. A little colour grading in Lightroom to cool the shadows and a 16 x 9 crop made it look more cinematic.

    This shot was taken on my first day into this trip. My wife and I decided to spend Labor Day weekend in the mountains which was wonderful but also very busy which isn't the best for wildlife photography. However, I did come away with some good shots from my outing (mostly landscape) and this is by far one of my favorite. I love how the light is striking the deer's face while he is mostly shrouded in shadow. I took this with a Nikon 200-500mm @ 500, 1/160s, ISO 100 and f6.3. I shot this across th

    Was out looking for anything to photograph on one my few days off from work. So I went to the plot of land where I deer hunt. Any wild flower that may still be in bloom, insects, things like that. Tons of grasshoppers everywhere and I came across this fella. I didn't realize he possibly had a wounded left wing until I processed the photos. No wonder he sat thru many different angles, exposures, and me getting up in his face and didn't offer to fly off.

    I saw the sky start to get some color after looking too overcast. I grabbed my gear and went down to the road behind where I live. I had gotten a few shots of the headlights going the other way and it was too much of a contrast with the sky. I got set up, with the camera low to the ground and got a couple test shots. Then shot this at 5 seconds.
