    I was the only participant. That wasn't a problem, but perhaps there should be a way to have a minimum number so there is some group dynamics. Thea was awesome. She listened and was able to craft the session to compliment my strengths while suggesting different things to challenge me.

    While in the garden one afternoon in the corner of my eye I caught a California Scrub Jay swoop down from the top of a fence to the gravely ground and a tussle ensued. Upon further investigation I noticed the bird had caught him/herself an unfortunate fence lizard, it then flew off with its meal, but not before I was able to snap a few shots, and here is one of them.

    In this still-life photograph, created in response to an assignment during my classes at Otis Extension, I explored the beauty of simplicity using materials readily available in my home studio. The composition includes vibrant flowers from my garden and glassware sourced from my kitchen cabinet, arranged against a muted gray background.To draw attention to the cider bottle, I used selective focus. The orange and red hues of the flowers create contrast with the gray backdrop. I was hoping to

    I was waiting for the night fall to take the setting Milky Way. The day wasn?t clear so I wasn?t planning on taking any sunset photos. As I was looking for a composition I saw the small pathway between two boulders leading down. Also the small rocks kinda positioned in as lines leading to the main subject - sugarloaf rocks. As the sun goes down towards the horizon golden light started hitting the rocks giving a golden colour to them. I decided that it was a moment I couldn?t miss so started shoo

    photo taken in Edinburgh in one of the city parks, I was visiting with the intention of taking a few photos on the autumn theme. The photographic equipment used was a canon eos 7D mark 2 and a Canon EF 70 - 300 mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM lens. I took the photo from the ground to capture the right angle of view and perspectives, significantly reflecting the dynamics of the shot.
