Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

    It was good. Learnt a lot on technical photography which didn?t necessarily lean towards autumnal landscape photography But still enjoyable. I like the individual support I received. 6 people should be the max in these short classes

    The instructor (Amman Ali) is a very talented photographer and great instruction skills. He dedicated a lot of extra time, i.e. outside the scheduled 2 hours to go through the concepts of manual photography. We were very blessed to have him our instructor and will highly recommend him.

    It was fabulous. First, there were only two of us and thankfully we were of similar experience so we jumped straight into a conversation with Amaan. It was like having Yoda to ourselves for 2.5 hours. In the event we took very few photos, but the opportunity to discuss a range of technical and artistic issues with him was invaluable. He was open, patient and extremely knowledgable. Whilst I did learn a couple of technical tricks, the majority of our time was spent discussion the balance of different techniques. I had a thoroughly engrossing time and can?t thank or recommend Amaan enough.

    I'd gone to Primrose Hill in the hope of getting some shots of the Super Moon, athough a little cloudy I managed to get some decent shots (I think I ended up with about a hundred which isn't bad for me, I been known to take about three hundred at say Carnival, lol) . I chose Primerose Hill as it seemed to be the highest point I could think of that might allow me to get a good view and I'd been there before it was very cloudy that night with no breaks in the clouds.

    This blossom was on a small Magnolia tree sheltered from the wind and weather on Bald Head Island. When I spied this blossom the sun light was beginning to illuminate the petals. Time time spent waiting for the pictorial moment gave me time to more deeply appreciate the beauty of this transient blossom. Taken with a Nikon D850, tripod, 70-200 in close distance. Single image-no stacking.

    The Oregon Zoo is a symphony of colors, a vibrant tapestry of life from every corner of the world. But on that particular day, it was the intrigue of the flamingo exhibit that caught my attention. As I approached, camera in hand, the light was perfectly casting a glow on the water as the flamingos glided along. Among the flock, one particular bird stood out. It approached me with an equal curiosity as I. It captured me as I captured it. The result, I believe, speaks for itself. It's more than ju
