    Michael did an excellent job of showing how to use the natural light to capture different aspects of the model in portraits. The model was excellent too.

    A very informative event. Michael and his model discussed and setup various existing light scenarios. Discussed positioning the model for available light, camera settings and types of light available throughout the day.

    It was cold. It was rainy. It was gloomy. All conditions that I would never have thought to go out and shoot in. But it was AMAZING!!! The class showed me what those conditions can yield: drama and the reflections the pools of water created. It was AMAZING! The instructor was helpful but she did not hover. She allowed me to just discover and create.

    Michael did a terrific job in explaining the basics of a digital camera. He spent time with each student and endured our questions without hesitation. I hope to have another class with him.

    This photo was taken while we were on a hike in Trinidad Lake State Park at the end of June this year. When we are vacationing and hiking I like to find interesting views to showcase the landscapes and/or subjects.

    Title or Location: By the Banks of the Bow, photo captured at the Stampede Trl SE, Calgary, AB T2G 4K8
    As part of my final project as a fourth-year photography major, I chose to explore and document Calgary?s sculptures, which embody the history and heritage of its people and landscape. One of the highlights of my work is By the Banks of the Bow, one of the largest sculptural artworks in North America. To enhance the visual impact of the image, I utilized Photoshop, particularly to create a dramatic sky that seamlessly complements the dynamism of the horses and the cowboy.This piece celebrate

    This long exposure shot is from August, 2024. I was visiting Liberty State Park, New Jersey. From Liberty park you get such an AMAZING view of the NYC skyline looking across the water. It?s awesome during the day but even more magical at night as you can see. I?d recommend a visit here just for the views to anyone.

    Title or Location: Cotswold Wildlife Park
    I loved the detail on this lizard. However, the background was very similar to the lizard body colour. In Lightroom I picked a background preset which toned it down somewhat, but not enough. So created a mask and turned down the background even further. A little ?pop? on the lizard skin and I was finished. I hope you like it.

    With the cloud starting to clear I thought if I got lucky we might have a nice colourful sunset but colour didn't arrive. The deep colours presented over the Susan River by nature were fantastic however.
