    Johnnie did a great job guiding us through the park, finding good subject matter, and brought reflectors and lighting so we could try different shots of the same subject and learn about the effects. Great learning event, thank you!

    When my daughter came into the living room and exclaimed we were suppose to be able to see the Northern Lights tonight I jumped into action. Now Astrophotography is not my strong suit, but experience is the greatest teacher in this game, so I grabbed my gear and headed for the closest dimly lit area around. It took several tries before I had my focus dialed in as it was pretty dark out and a bit longer to find an area where my camera could pick up on the faint light. After several fails I finall

    I was waiting for the night fall to take the setting Milky Way. The day wasn?t clear so I wasn?t planning on taking any sunset photos. As I was looking for a composition I saw the small pathway between two boulders leading down. Also the small rocks kinda positioned in as lines leading to the main subject - sugarloaf rocks. As the sun goes down towards the horizon golden light started hitting the rocks giving a golden colour to them. I decided that it was a moment I couldn?t miss so started shoo

    photo taken in Edinburgh in one of the city parks, I was visiting with the intention of taking a few photos on the autumn theme. The photographic equipment used was a canon eos 7D mark 2 and a Canon EF 70 - 300 mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM lens. I took the photo from the ground to capture the right angle of view and perspectives, significantly reflecting the dynamics of the shot.
