Macro Photography Meetup

Saturday 12 July

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.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the event & learnt a lot about this genre of photography. Jamie's passion & enthusiasm for street photography was clearly evident & very inspiring. Jamie was able to discuss camera settings & techniques at all levels from basic through to advanced. He continually made suggestions on how to capture different images on the street with real time examples. Overall I highly recommend Jamie & the Street Photography workshop.

    Punctual and Friendly providing a relaxed start. Was very knowledgeable and had a game plan. Spent time with course members giving individual advice and guidance. Offered suggestions on camera settings and techniques. Also suggested possible photo opportunities. At this point (2 days after event) I would consider another course date. Now waiting on follow up information. Hence 4 and not 5

    Title or Location: Ellis Square, Savannah, GA
    I met young Miles at Ellis Square while he was doing some rather gymnastic break dancing. Luckily, for me, I was using my Nikon Z7 which allowed me to switch from raw to jpeg giving me 9 frames per second on motor drive. I was shooting aperture preferred and used f/8 the resulting shutter speed was 1/1600 of a second. 9fps sounds fast but I only had 6 nicely composed shots out of 120 exposures.

    I had spent the better part of the day moving silently through the edges of the chase looking to photograph deer. It was one of those days that seemed perfect on paper: overcast skies that softened the light, barely a breath of wind, and a camera battery at full charge. But nature is nothing if not humbling. The deer remained ghost-like, unseen despite hours of quiet patience and soft steps.By late afternoon my hopes had dimmed so I began the slow walk back to the car. The path wound through

    CPKC Rail Engine 9350 plus one heading east out of Winnipeg to deliver it's freight to Eastern Canada and possibly countries beyond on this beautiful summer day. Engine 9350 is a Diesel/Electric Locomotive which was built in February 2012 by General Electric and produces 4400HP which is capable to propel it to a top speed of 75mph. I love to photograph trains whenever I get a chance. To me they are iconic.
