Nature Photography Meetup

Gold Coast Photography Group
Evelina Cardone
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.

    Title or Location: In my garden in Main Arm
    My partner and I were having a drink on our verandah and I looked down and said that I didn?t know that he planted a bromeliad down there.He said that it was a pineapple!(Pineapple?s are part of the bromeliad family, so I wasn?t completely wrong!)I had never seen a red pineapple before, so I had to take photos. This photo is a close up of the top of the pineapple, taken about three years ago with my iPhone 7 Plus

    Title or Location: Byron Bay Lighthouse
    This photo was taken on October 11th, 2024, around 4:50 AM. However, it was the climax of a whole week, and specially the night from the 10th to 11th, of following the forecasts numbers. It all started with the X9.0 coronal mass ejection (CME) on October 3, followed by the X1.84 eruptive flare on October 9. By October 10th we had an official forecast from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for a G4 geomagnetic storm for the 10/11. Canon EOS 7D Mark II, ISO2000, 10 seconds

    I was looking for Whimbrels, or other migratory shore birds when I spotted this common tern flying around. At some point it dove and caught a fish. I instinctively aimed my camera and took a few pictures before flying away.

    Steam was really enshrouding the main pool of Grand Prismatic, so I looked for other compelling ways to capture images. This image features some of the sinter terraces and cooler water thermophiles thriving around the central pool perimeter.
