I just wanted to say I enjoyed the event very much. I am new to DSLR and the instructor spent quite a bit of time with me helping me with settings. I am very old school SLR and forgot a lot of things as well. She was patient, lots of fun and gave a different perspective to portraits from what I learned in school several years ago. I really appreciated her creative process and it will make me better at my craft as a result. I loved the location as well. I will be attending future events!

Attending the portrait photo workshop was an enriching experience. I learned a great deal about the importance of interacting with the subject, which is crucial for capturing the emotions that truly convey the story behind the photo. The workshop emphasized how building rapport with the model can help guide their expressions and poses, resulting in more authentic and impactful portraits. I also gained valuable insights into using lighting effectively in portrait photography. Overall, the workshop gave me a deeper appreciation of the creative process behind portrait photography.

This was highly informative. As a total newbie I learnt so much about Portrait photography. Zanhetti is clearly very experienced in this field both in front and behind the camera. She helped us think a lot about the process, and gave a tremendous amount of useful tips. She made a point of regularly looking at our images and gave us individual feedback which was very helpful.

It was the intention for whale watching, however the whale moves too faster to catch. The eagle on the other hand is very cooperative being my model, looks like he is thinking of the menu for brunch&128539

After a few days of wind and rain I decided to go for a hike at Matheson Lake. The water was so calm and serene. Just as I was getting ready to take the photo the sun broke through the clouds and revealed a wonderful reflection. Mother Nature?s reward for enduring the storm.

Thank you for considering my photo for Photo of the Week! I have a number of bottle brush trees in my back yard, and birds love the blossoms when they bloom in the Spring. I usually see numerous hummingbirds and sparrows, but I saw this gorgeous bird one afternoon resting in the branches. I was able to get a couple of shots off before it flew away.

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.
