Bryan Traylor
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.

Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. 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.

    Livi was an excellent instructor and guide. Her ability to assist in not only confidence building, but watching her skill in photography inspired me. I would definitely recommend to anyone who needs that extra push to get themselves out there and produce amazing photos.

    It was a really nice class. Being able to talk and get suggestions from a professional in a simple 1-on-1 like manner is what I was looking for.

    Title or Location: Four Peaks
    Back in 2023, I made a trip to the base of Four Peaks to capture the Wolf Moon (first full moon of the year) rising right over the center of the mountain. My friend and I took our jeeps to the top of one of the foothills, eagerly anticipating a "huge" moon rising. It was pretty cloudy on the horizon, which delayed the reveal an extra ten minutes. Finally, it came up... And it was actually pretty disappointing. The moon wasn't nearly as exciting as I thought it would be. I originally shared this

    This October image of a chipmunk was taken on my Lanark County property, I prefer to photograph small wildlife such as this fellow in a natural rustic setting. I always take my images of wildlife big or small early morning or late afternoon?not only are creatures more active but the low angle of light provides better modeling of the subject. When I frame my subjects, I look for angles that provide uncluttered backgrounds, I leave negative space in the framing to allow for text to be added if nee

    Title or Location: Tanque Verde Valley
    I recently acquired an older exotic lens, probably circa 1980s. It is a Nikon 400mm f2.8 AI-S which is a completely manual lens with no VR. I paired it with my Nikon D850 to see if I could learn to tackle manual focus. The hummingbirds are congregating on the front of my property where agave plants are flowering at this time of year. This makes it easier for me to practice. This Broad-Billed Hummingbird landed on a stick. The camera settings were 1/3200s at f2.8, auto ISO-320. This lens is old,

    Title or Location: This photo was taken at Couta Rocks on the north west coast of Tasmania
    This is one of my favourite places in Tassie, the north west coast. Couta Rocks are in the distance, as is a blanket of stars and a full Moon. It is such a beautiful and powerful place up there, a different world, one filled with spectacular scenery and the power of nature, not to mention the cleanest air on Earth. I long to go back to this amazing place, to share more of it's splendour though my photographic eye.
