NEXT MEETINGS

A talk by Jonathan Genevaux on Waterscapes
Jonathan will join the meeting via ZOOM.
A professional landscape photographer with a specialism in waterscapes. For
the past 3 years, Jonathan has been working on a project photographing the waterscapes of the UK, from the intimate Scottish lochs to the cliff tops of Cornwall and Wales, as well as photographing waterscapes of his home region in South-West France.
In this talk, he is sharing his best tips and techniques for landscape and waterscape photography from having a raw idea to editing the final images. Jonathan will share and explain his entire process for preparing and planning the shoot using maps and online tools, understanding how the light plays with the landscape, analysing the weather forecast, finding a composition, and what camera settings and gear he uses.
A very valuable talk for anyone interested in improving their landscape photography – or who just enjoys waterscape images!
