Understanding Metering

Understanding Metering

Saturday 15 July
Nashville Farmer's Market - 10am - 2 Hours
Metering is an incredibly important aspect of photography to grasp. You might have heard about the exposure triangle but I believe we should be talking about an exposure square with metering being the forth side as it is equally as important to getting the correct exposure as your aperture, ISO and shutter speed. We will explore how and when to use each of the metering options and how to use it to get some creative lighting in your shots.

Street Photography

Street Photography

Saturday 29 July
Nashville Farmer's Market - 10am - 2 Hours
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you. We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    Nathan Marsland
    Nathan was born in North Carolina, had grown up in Mississippi, and now currently lives in Nashville. He’s always been passionate about storytelling, and photography has always been one of his favorite mediums of telling tales, most notably through using film and hand developing his negatives as a way to add a more human element to his work. Nathan is primarily influenced through street photography, mostly through the works of Vivian Maier and Jim Marshall. As well as by Ansel Adams’ landscapes, and Hiroshi Sugimoto’s long exposure seascapes.
