Saturday 13 January
Guajome Park - 8am - 2 Hours
Oceanside Photography Group
Sahid Perez
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.

    My experience taking Thomas's workshop is 10/10! Thomas is a great teacher and does a very nice job of breaking down the manual parts of the camera to someone new to it. This workshop is an excellent value. I will surely be taking any other classes Thomas offers. Looking forward to the next one! Thank you, Thomas!!

    Enjoyed the event. Received lots of good information to start my hobby of taking pictures with my Canon camera. Walking Balboa was fun and I learned and practiced the photography basics. I had time to focus on thinking the settings of the shot before taking it and review of shots taken to answer all my questions. I would recommend the class. The class objectives were met. This class has gotten me more excited about spending time taking pictures with my camera. Thomas is a good teacher and enjoys sharing his knowledge at the appropriate student level.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Michael Masso
    Michael is a San Diegian; born and raised. His love for the camera started in junior high on his iPod Touch taking special effect videos of his friends and snowballed into a Bachelor's Degree in Media Communications from PLNU.

    The camera somehow founds its way into every aspect of Michael's life. Turning his dog into an influencer. Taking self-portraits of his various cosplays during Comic-Con even taking photos of his karate students after they get their new belts. A camera is always needed in his life.

    Title or Location: Southern Del Mar overlooking the ocean, standing on the cliffs.
    I was lucky to live on the bluffs in Del Mar, my backyard was the ocean! I walked miles and miles on the beach nearly daily, relieved that Walking in Beauty was medicine for my soul. As I walked I witnessed so much beauty and the transient problems of the day disappeared. Often, in the middle of making dinner, I would rush out the door with my Nikon getting out to the bluffs to capture magic. This photograph I took on New Year's Day in 2016, just as the sun was creating the evening masterpiece.

    This shot was taken in front of the Fairway Cafe in Lismore. The tower is close to the main road so the cars driving past at night would light the tower. This shot is a 20sec exposure, so I had to play around with timing the shot.
