- Alpharetta Meeting: Go with the Flow – Tips for Photographing Water in NatureAlpharetta Arts Center, Alpharetta, GA
Description:
We’ve all seen great images of streams, rivers and oceans. What makes those images successful? What equipment is useful in photographing water? How do you choose the right camera settings to make great images?
Whether it’s a puddle, a few drops, or a rushing stream, most of us like the character water brings to nature images. We’ll take a tour of water from the mountains to the sea and discuss examples of water in photographs. You’ll take away tips and techniques for equipment, camera settings and compositions that you can use.
