This session will show you how to capture high action surfing shots with use of quick shutter speeds and dynamic angles. It is recommended that longer focal length lenses are used - this will allow for closer capture of the action as we will be shooting from the beach or rock walls beside the waves - focal lengths of 200mm plus would be preferred.This will be high action photography at its best.

Macro photography is a unique form of photography that involves photographing small objects to make them look life-sized or more significant in the photo. The usual subjects include flowers and small insects, which we don't normally get to see up close with the naked eye.

The class will start when the insects are more active. So be ready to explore and capture breathe-taking macro images.

    First time taking my new Canon lens 100-400 for a walk. There are a lot of birds at the Wetlands. I am not really good at getting birds, so was actually very proud to get this little wood swallow!

    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.

    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.

    This was a nice crisp cool morning during a trip to NYC. This was not an impromptu picture, it was planned prior to going to NYC. It?s a very iconic spot to take a photo and I would encourage photographers to get their own shot to hang in their homes or sale.

    Driving home after out playing with my camera taking photos on my co-workers farm, I drove past this dam. I've never seen it before as I'm still relatively new to this area. I immediately pulled off the side of the road and grabbed my gear. I am a follower of Gary Gough, a fine art photographer on YouTube. He said one way to learn is to copy someone else's work to learn and get better. So that's what I did. LOL. Using his teachings I combined long shutter speeds with ND filters that allowed me t
