This meet-up will highlight the Manual camera setting and will be used in Architectural photography. The Manual setting on a camera often tends to be a mystery; three settings on one mode. The result, however, can be colorful and vibrant photos with breathtaking composition. It is my goal to introduce this setting to you in very easy and slow steps. A brief description of the Manual setting will then lead to Architectural photography at the Pavilion with the focus being on the different sections that make up this large building. This meetup will highlight how Manual differs from all the other camera settings by blending aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. These three components will be briefly discussed in the beginning so there is no confusion when practicing with the settings. Looking forward to seeing you there!!

The settings on the camera will be explored and questions answered. This class will allow participants to identify the settings with the type of photo being taken. In addition, DOF (depth of field) will be discussed and applied to photos taken at the Park. Shallow depth of field and full depth of field can be applied at the Pavilion, the overlook, and the Ohio River. Applying the learned settings will result in breathtaking views and photos from this scenic location.

Landscape mode is very popular amongst photographers. This park has an asphalt walking trail that is 1/2 mile long and offers a brisk even walk (there is one point at the entrance that is a little steep in it's grade but easily manageable. There are two open shelters and a bridge present. The trail goes around somewhat like an oval; beginning and ending at the parking lot. Looking forward to seeing you there.

This park is gigantic and offers plenty of Landscape opportunities; there are several trees on the right side of the park. There is also a beautiful scenic view of the Ohio River and a fence to the left of the park that should provide excellent macro shots. This meetup will also provide an opportunity for far way shots-those with zoom lenses please bring them. Looking forward to seeing you there.

There will be lots of Macro opportunities present including several trees, an outdoor water fountain, leaves on the ground, and outdoor benches. Macro photos taken with a wide angle lens often result in shallow depth of field as the Macro object becomes the main focus in the photo. This exciting method of photography is a favorite amongst many photographers. Looking forward to seeing you there and seeing your spectacular "close up" photos.

We will be discussing F stop and Aperture. Aperture can be a riddle to many. We will discuss and photograph how depth of field, both shallow and full, derives from the aperture setting on the camera. It is through this setting the shutter opens and closes. This will be a fun time to explore how shallow depth of field can be instrumental in both landscape and portrait photography. Looking forward to seeing you there !!
