What we’re about
This group for anyone with an interest in learning all the different disciplines of photography with the purpose of learning from and sharing with others the skills and experiences we all have. We will seek ideas from the group and hold events based on what members are interested in. The goal is to explore everything from the basics such as exposure and depth of field to advanced lighting and fill flash. We will also explore sports, pet, portraits and still life photography along with anything else members want to suggest. This group is about meeting other people with the same interest in photography, learning and most importantly having fun with the hobby we love. The gear does not matter, shoot with what you have, the best camera is always the one you have and carry with you.

The first segment of this workshop will introduce you to the fascinating world of Ultra Violet (UVIV) photography. Ultra Violet light, commonly referred to as black light, causes certain objects to fluoresce, revealing stunning colors not visible under normal lighting. During this session, we will photograph a variety of beautiful flowers and other objects that glow vibrantly under UV light. Professional-grade UV flashlights will be provided to illuminate the scene, along with flowers and minerals that emit vivid colors when exposed to UV light. Participants are encouraged to use a camera equipped with a standard lens, such as a 24-70mm, or a slightly longer lens. A tripod is essential, as UV light is relatively dim, and a remote shutter release is strongly recommended to ensure steady, long-exposure shots. Exposure times may extend up to ten seconds.

The second part of the workshop will focus on unleashing your creativity to craft imaginative compositions featuring miniature figures. Picture a winter scene with skiers and children spilling out of a salt shaker, with the salt acting as snow—this is just one of the countless scenes you can bring to life. We will provide a wide selection of hundreds of miniature figures, along with a variety of props to help set the scene. For inspiration, refer to the link below showcasing examples of this unique genre of photography. To participate in this portion of the workshop, you will need a camera with a macro lens, or a smartphone with macro capabilities. Note that every iPhone 12 and newer model is equipped with macro shooting capabilities.
