50mm Lens Meetup

50mm Lens Meetup

Saturday 15 July
James Weldon Johnson Park, 135 W Monroe St, Jacksonville, FL 32202 - 5pm - 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 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.
    Kendall Lowder
    Kendall is your local nerd and shark enthusiast. She graduated from the University of North Florida with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts with a concentration in Photography in 2022.

    She is really passionate about photographing still lives and nature.

    If you ever get a chance to check out her works, she tends to make darker themed art, but she still has goofy, more whimsical side and loves to make silly little doodles here and there.

    She does both digital and traditional art on the side as well!
