One of the most basic tenets of composition is the Rule of Thirds. Although most people are familiar with this technique it is often forgotten in the haste to take a photo. However you ignore it at your peril as it can make an average snap into something which is has tension and dynamism.

In this meetup we will practice using the Rule of Thirds in a setting full of photographic possibility.

    Crystal was great! She took time to show each of us beginners basic features in our cameras in addition to beginning basics of photography itself so that we could move forward on our own after class was completed. She didn?t talk over our heads- was very thorough and helpful.

    First, I want to recognize Instructor Crystal Molina for going above and beyond in securing an alternative location out of the high temperatures, it was greatly appreciated. It was great to learn from a professional photographer who could provide hands-on instruction! Most of us (beginners) were there to learn how to use all of our camera's controls. While I've learned some things from my camera's manual or by trial and error, it was so nice to work with a professional who could fill in my learning gaps and provide a bridge to the next steps in skill acquisition. I will definitely sign up for another class in the future! Thank you!

    This was much better than the previous lesson I took with y'all. Crystal had a plan, started with a lesson giving us new ideas & knowledge to practice with & learn. And throughout got lots of good suggestions & feedback. Stopping after each location to look through each others photos helped a ton too, was super educational, lots clicked in my mind. I walked a way with a significant array of architecture photography techniques I didn't have before. So glad I went.

    Attending a workshop is always an exhilarating experience, especially when it provides an opportunity to connect with fellow photography enthusiasts. The Architecture Photo Workshop, led by Meghna, was no exception in this regard. The camaraderie and exchange of ideas among participants were the highlights of this event. From the outset, I was eager to delve deeper into the nuances of architecture photography, a genre I'm not very familiar with. My expectations centered around gaining insights and techniques for architectural photography. While the workshop excelled in offering discussions with other photographers, it fell short of my expectations in terms of content depth. The sessions leaned more towards a casual meetup rather than an informative workshop on architecture photography. Meghna, the workshop leader, was undoubtedly amiable and supportive. Her approachable demeanor fostered a comfortable and engaging environment. However, when it came to imparting specialized knowledge or advanced tips in architecture photography, the workshop did not quite hit the mark. Reflecting on this experience, I wonder if perhaps my expectations were misaligned with the workshop's intended offering. For those seeking a pleasant gathering to meet and converse with fellow photography enthusiasts, this workshop is a perfect fit. However, for me, looking for learning about architecture photography, this workshop didn't meet my hopes.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Crystal Molina
    I started my photography journey eighteen years ago when my oldest two children, twins, were born. I wanted beautiful pics of my babies but didn't have much of a budget. So I started learning all I possibly could about photography and I fell in love with it. I have done various types of photography. I don't love just one photographic subject but any and all things beautiful. If there's beauty to behold I want to capture it! I don't know it all but will gladly share what I have been blessed to learn.

    Crystal Molina is available for private bookings

    Available for private tutoring, weddings, portraits, and events. Please contact to schedule.

    I met young Miles at Ellis Square while he was doing some rather gymnastic break dancing. Luckily, for me, I was using my Nikon Z7 which allowed me to switch from raw to jpeg giving me 9 frames per second on motor drive. I was shooting aperture preferred and used f/8 the resulting shutter speed was 1/1600 of a second. 9fps sounds fast but I only had 6 nicely composed shots out of 120 exposures.

    I had spent the better part of the day moving silently through the edges of the chase looking to photograph deer. It was one of those days that seemed perfect on paper: overcast skies that softened the light, barely a breath of wind, and a camera battery at full charge. But nature is nothing if not humbling. The deer remained ghost-like, unseen despite hours of quiet patience and soft steps.By late afternoon my hopes had dimmed so I began the slow walk back to the car. The path wound through
