Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 26 August
Portage Glacier - 9am - 2 Hours
Jason Larson
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.

    It was very nice to get out and meet other photographers and spend time shooting. The wind made it a bit more of a challenge but overall I had a great time

    Jason was extremely knowledgeable and flexible. Very willing to reschedule class due to terrible conditions. And was also willing to have a cup of coffee with us to go over some basics! Excellent teacher! I look forward to the make-up class.

    Jason Larson
    Jason Larson is a nature photographer with an emphasis on wildlife photography. He has spent countless hours in the rainy Washington weather patiently waiting for the animal to move into frame. He recently made the move to Alaska with his partner and has been blown away by the incredible scenery and vistas, especially so close to Anchorage. He spends most of his free time exploring and looking for animals to shoot. He is looking forward to meeting like-minded photographers with the same passion for the craft.
