50mm Lens Meetup

Saturday 21 September

Near Lindley Park - 10am - 2 Hours

Josh Brown

The 50mm lens is one of the flexible and useful lenses in any photographer’s gear bag. It is neither a wide-angle or telephoto lens, but allows the camera to see on the same scale as your eye. As such, it can be used for a variety of styles, from landscape and street photography to portrait and product photography. In this meetup, we’ll review the basic camera settings. We’ll then cover some of the advantages of shooting with a prime lens, and some basic techniques to using the 50mm lens. As always, there will be ample opportunities for you to put your new knowledge into practice.

David taught with enthusiasm and great knowledge. He adapted the class to the styles of photography and the learning objectives of the students. I would definitely recommend his classes and hope to take more myself

I enjoyed this class so much! David was patient, kind, funny, and dumbed it down without making you feel stupid. He was a wonderful instructor and I took away a lot from this class. I was apprehensive at first because I have never taken a class like this before but it was super beneficial and I would take another one. I will be looking for future classes to help my growth as a photographer. Thank you for offering.

Great intro into portrait photography. All questions answered, terminology explained and concepts practiced in real time. Instructor was instrumental in portraying the model while at the same time helping us to visually see the ideas behind posing from the viewpoint of both model and photographer. Thanks Dave!

As always with David Ross, I come away with far more than expected or anticipated. The posing, yes, useful. But metering on grass shadows being analogous to an 18% gray card, that's genius.

Dave really demonstrated the basic skills in protraiture. The hardest part is learning how to position people. It's a lot harder then you would think, but the more you proactice and get used to it, the more natural it feels. Also learned on shooting people facing the sun vs. backlit by the sun, shooting in the shade, etc. I highly recommend this class!!

Very informative and hands on. Answered questions in detail (until you got it) lol. Great personality from the instructor to make us feel comfortable, especially the beginners.

I've taken four semesters of photography classes at GTCC (our local community college) and numerous sign-up equivalents to Click events, yet I honestly learned more useful knowledge in two hours with David Ross than all the latter. Nor is this hyperbole. I'm an engineer and an academic. The guy is that good, both at his profession, and especially as a teacher.

I learned the various ways the flash can be used to create different images. The class was well taught and I highly recommend it!

Excellent! There were quite a few moments where I discovered things about flash photography that I'd previously had no idea that I could do with my flash. This was my second class and am already looking forward to the next one, which I'm already signed up for!

I've had my DSLR for years but had never used it much. I would get too frustrated trying to figure out how to use it, and it felt like a waste of time fiddling with all the buttons and stuff. My images were almost never exposed right. David helped me learn what some of those 'gizmos' do, what they mean, etc. By the end of class, my images were much improved. I still need to practice more, which I'm looking forward to doing, but the class really helped a lot. I've already signed up for a couple more classes because I know I'll be well taught!

Was out looking for anything to photograph on one my few days off from work. So I went to the plot of land where I deer hunt. Any wild flower that may still be in bloom, insects, things like that. Tons of grasshoppers everywhere and I came across this fella. I didn't realize he possibly had a wounded left wing until I processed the photos. No wonder he sat thru many different angles, exposures, and me getting up in his face and didn't offer to fly off. LOL

On a vacation back in May, my wife and I went to the state park to see what kind of photographic opportunities it offered. There is a trail through the woods where this photo was taken. I thought it the perfect choice for some black and white artistic photography. Thank you so much for your interest in my picture! Nikon D3300. AF-P DX Nikkor 70-300mm. 1/200. 400ISO

I just recently, last 6 months, became intrigued with macro photography. All I had in my camera bag was a 50mm and a 100-400mm. With extension tubes my 50 worked great but I wanted the 100mm f/2.8L IS USM. Purchased it last week and the weeds in my yard have not been safe since!! LOL.

Photographed in the North end of the Piedmont Environmental Center. This is a rather juvenile Great Blue Heron. Last time I was in the area the juveniles where about ready to take wing. This one seems to have gotten the hang of it. I did find the remains of a few that did not though.

The North America Nebula derives it's name from it's resemblance to the continental United States, Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico. The nebula is about 2,600 Light years away in the constellation Cygnus, visible during the summer and fall. This narrowband image is a composite of three wavelengths of light known as Hydrogen-alpha, Sulfur II and Oxygen III, with each wavelength assigned to the R, G, or B color channel to compose a full color image.

On this dewy, fresh morning something compelled me to grab my camera and take a picture as sandhill cranes strolling gracefully through the front yard. Harriet pictured here is, as always, accompanied by Ozzie and their offspring of the season. They have been welcomed morning coffee mates for the last 12 years. The picture captures the calm presence and the dancer's restlessness of these beautiful visitors.

The Great Reno Balloon Race was this weekend. About a dozen balloon are up and aglow before dawn. This beautiful one was my favorite. Most shooting were using auto white balance, cloudy, or 5600K to keep the yellow cast from the flame. I prefer a white balance which retains the true colors of the balloons, especially for this balloon.
