Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture nature in a visually interesting way. We will be looking at composition, focus, and colour.

These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

    While in Toronto for a medical appointment things were chaotic with protests and angry people. I chose to slip into my ?finding beauty everywhere? mode and the most beautiful architecture revealed itself to me. Technically this is an ICM, shutter speed 1.2 sec, ISO 40, f 2.2.
