50mm Lens Meetup

50mm Lens Meetup

Saturday 20 January
Downtown Jacksonville - 4pm - 2 Hours
The 50mm lens is one of the flexible and useful lenses in any photographer’s gear bag. It is neither a wide-angle or telephoto lens, but allows the camera to see on the same scale as your eye. As such, it can be used for a variety of styles, from landscape and street photography to portrait and product photography. In this meetup, we’ll review the basic camera settings. We’ll then cover some of the advantages of shooting with a prime lens, and some basic techniques to using the 50mm lens. As always, there will be ample opportunities for you to put your new knowledge into practice.

    Kimberly was very helpful and provided advice on camera settings and places to move to get the best shots. While we were waiting for the sunset, she talked with us and answered questions on different camera features. She also provided some helpful tips on street photography.

    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Kimberly Halbrook
    Kimberly has been a photographer since the age of 14, beginning with her dad's 35mm SLR camera. It wasn't long before she started shooting film with full manual settings. Soon afterwards she started shooting with DSLR cameras. In her college years, she went on to developing her own rolls of film and producing prints in the dark room. During her studies, she took black & white film art photography classes, expanding her knowledge of camera techniques and creativity. Recently she has been sticking to shooting with her mirrorless camera. She enjoys teaching classes to those who aspire to broaden their photography skills and network with other photographers.

    Title or Location: San Marco - Acosta Bridge
    A Saturday morning walk across the Acosta Bridge to get some fresh air and catch the sunrise provided the perfect setting for Downtown Jacksonville. It was like the city and the St. Johns River refused to give up its night colors to the impending daylight. I've driven across this bridge thousands of times, walking across was a new experience for me. I've learned: Get your gear and find an adventure!Camera: Sony ILCE-7RM5 (A7RV)Lens: Sony FE 24?105mm F4 G OSSShutter: 1/30sf-Number: f/4

Tales are told of one notorious pirate, Captain Redbeard, who buried his most precious loot here, leaving behind a series of riddles and natural markers for the truly adventurous to solve and find his treasure.In a more recent past, this path was part of an elaborate escape route used during t

    Title or Location: Jacksonville Beach at 14th Ave North
    I'd heard that there was a sailboat that had been pushed ashore. Having missed the one that was stranded in the area a few years back, I got my gear together and headed out to the beach with my wife. This photo was taken the night before the full moon at the end of October and the moon was already up and lighting up the night sky, only occasionally blocked by fast moving clouds. Photo was shot with a Sony A7Riii with the 18-105 f/4 lens at f4 ISO 6400

    Title or Location: Ponte Vedra Beach Florida
    I was watching the osprey in my backyard when it dove and missed a fish in the lake. I was using a Canon R7 and RF800mm f11 lens. The light was perfectly over my shoulder shooting at 1/2000th of a second. This is one of a sequence I used to show my non photography followers all that goes into getting this one split second in time. I loved the wingspread and volume of water it was moving as it rose to try again.

    Title or Location: Crane Park, Whitton.
    Taken with Nikon D7500 with 300mm Nikkor lens. Two male Kingfishers possibly adult male and offspring sitting low by the River Crane. Light was low so had to use a high ISO. Because of this the image had to be denoised . It was then cropped and clarity and texture added in Lightroom. I have a nice triptych of them sitting in three different poses.

    I was on my way home when I saw the paragliders hovering ahead. So even though I thought I would try to get a few photos of them. The storm was getting closer & we all thought we would get wet, but just before it hit, it threw out a quick burst of colour. Sometimes it?s all about timing. iPhone 12 Pro Max & Snapseed.
