Prior to the class, I had been reluctant to take my new camera out of the travel bag. The class forced me to learn the location of the most important controls on my new mirrorless camera and it has pulled me away from the auto settings that I used to rely on. After the class I am now experimenting with other settings and actually using my new, and mostly manual, camera. It was a great way to get me started.

Mykael is very knowledgeable and made the class fun and well worth the time. I appreciated that she was willing to tailor the class to the needs of the students.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and supportive. She adapted well to changing conditions. She provided great resources to work on after the course.

Taken during week 4 of the Iowa high school football season during the cross-town rivalry of John F Kennedy Cougars vs the George Washington Warriors, the class of 2027 and 4-star ranked kicker Logan Barton Left the locker room early during half time to practice some field goals, he often lines himself up 40, 50, and even 60 yards away from the field goal despite a lighter build. I asked him to put his helmet on for some shots, I got up close in front of him (Hoping he wouldn't drill me in

Title or Location: Lima Church, Fayette, IA
The bride, Ashley's great great grandparents were owners of the general store in Lima. The town was torn down to build a lake, but the church was on high enough ground so they were able to keep it. The lake was never built and what was the town is now Volga State recreation area. Ashley's great grandparents Darlene and Verle Pugh were married in the church in the late 40's. Ashley grew up as a little kid doing events and such at the Lima Church with her great grandparents and it was her childh

Title or Location: Lanark County, Ontario
This October image of a chipmunk was taken on my Lanark County property, I prefer to photograph small wildlife such as this fellow in a natural rustic setting. I always take my images of wildlife big or small early morning or late afternoon?not only are creatures more active but the low angle of light provides better modeling of the subject. When I frame my subjects, I look for angles that provide uncluttered backgrounds, I leave negative space in the framing to allow for text to be added if nee

Title or Location: Tanque Verde Valley
I recently acquired an older exotic lens, probably circa 1980s. It is a Nikon 400mm f2.8 AI-S which is a completely manual lens with no VR. I paired it with my Nikon D850 to see if I could learn to tackle manual focus. The hummingbirds are congregating on the front of my property where agave plants are flowering at this time of year. This makes it easier for me to practice. This Broad-Billed Hummingbird landed on a stick. The camera settings were 1/3200s at f2.8, auto ISO-320. This lens is old,

Title or Location: This photo was taken at Couta Rocks on the north west coast of Tasmania
This is one of my favourite places in Tassie, the north west coast. Couta Rocks are in the distance, as is a blanket of stars and a full Moon. It is such a beautiful and powerful place up there, a different world, one filled with spectacular scenery and the power of nature, not to mention the cleanest air on Earth. I long to go back to this amazing place, to share more of it's splendour though my photographic eye.
