Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

Street Photography

Street Photography

Sunday 17 December
Downtown Hartford - 10am - 2 Hours
Hartford Photography Group
Jahvon John
Street photography is a genre of photography that captures candid moments of everyday life in public places, such as streets, parks, and other urban areas. It often involves taking pictures of people, buildings, and objects in their natural environment, without any posing or staging.

Street photography has a rich history, with notable photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand, and Vivian Maier having made significant contributions to the genre. It requires a certain level of skill and patience to capture compelling images in the midst of the chaos and unpredictability of the streets.

Today, street photography continues to be popular among both amateur and professional photographers. With the advent of digital cameras and smartphones, it has become more accessible than ever before. However, there are still certain ethical considerations to keep in mind, such as obtaining permission from individuals before taking their photos and being respectful of people's privacy.

    This was a Great event, Dan (the host), was well organized, knew the subject matter, and was very helpful. He had a planned route, yet was flexible enough that if we wanted to stay in one area longer, we had that freedom. Enjoyed it and took a lot away from it. Thank you Dan!!!

    Belle, our 15 week old lab mix rescue was full of energy, so we took her for a walk across the road. With all the rain we'd had, there was a large (15' diameter) puddle in the field, and she raced back and forth through it. I laid down on the ground, and my wife called her to the other side of the puddle. When she raced back toward me, I captured her in midair, splashing through the puddle. Note, I took quite a few photos to get this one.Camera: SONY ILCE6400Lens: SONY 18mm- 135mm at 60 mm

    I commandeered the bathroom window to get away from the mosquito army outside. I was practicing taking shots of the moon a few days before the blue moon. I saw a black dot on my lens and thought I had taken a picture of one of the mosquitos and when I reviewed the pictures I saw the plane crossing.

    Taken with Nikon D7500 with 300mm Nikkor lens. Two male Kingfishers possibly adult male and offspring sitting low by the River Crane. Light was low so had to use a high ISO. Because of this the image had to be denoised . It was then cropped and clarity and texture added in Lightroom. I have a nice triptych of them sitting in three different poses.
