The City at Night

Parkyn Parade - 6pm - 2 Hours

Dan Anderson

Many people don't think about nighttime being a good time to do photography since there's a lack of light. However, armed with knowledge about your camera's settings and the properties of light, nighttime photography can be a lot of fun.

In this meetup, you'll learn about the best camera settings for nighttime photography. We'll also explore the kinds of light available to us and how to use that light to make some awesome photos. As always, there are exercises that will help you put your new knowledge to work.

I have several Magnolia trees in my yard and this is one of the flowers from this years blooms. The mockingbird is straight out of my imagination, and the combination of it with the flower gives the viewer a taste of spring in the South.
