Black & White Street Photography

Black & White Street Photography

Saturday 18 January
Downtown Jacksonville - 3pm - 2 Hours
Kimberly Halbrook
Black and white has a timeless quality that makes it challenging to compare with color photography. It brings people back and can help give your photos that dramatic or classic feel, which is likely the reason so many people connect to black and white street photography. It reminds them of the past and creates nostalgia. The goal of this class is to bring out that timeless and nostalgic feel.

    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.

    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: Marineland beach
    This was captured at the second jetty at Marineland beach. After moving from another location I felt the sunrise and would best be shot at this angle for a 30 second long exposure. As with all my pictures, this was taken on a Nikon D850, with a Nikkor 16/35 F4 lens.For this type of shot I generally shoot at F8, with my ISO at64 .All post processing it done in a combination of Photoshop and Skylum's Luminar Neo software.

    To my surprise, my primary objective that evening wasn't to capture the spectacular launch of the Falcon Nine. Unaware of its scheduled occurrence, I had no intention of documenting it. Instead, accompanied by a few companions, I ventured to Spoonbill Pond with the aim of capturing the awe-inspiring sight of the Milky Way. Originally slated for 2 a.m., the launch time coincided with the successful achievement of our initial goal. Convincing one of my friends to linger for the 5 a.m. (I received

    Was trying to capture something unique for the locals. I missed the full moon by a couple days but thought the reflection would be a neat thing to capture behind the epic pier. This was a long exposure shot with a manual fisheye lens on the canon R5.

    Driving home after out playing with my camera taking photos on my co-workers farm, I drove past this dam. I've never seen it before as I'm still relatively new to this area. I immediately pulled off the side of the road and grabbed my gear. I am a follower of Gary Gough, a fine art photographer on YouTube. He said one way to learn is to copy someone else's work to learn and get better. So that's what I did. LOL. Using his teachings I combined long shutter speeds with ND filters that allowed me t

    As part of my final project as a fourth-year photography major, I chose to explore and document Calgary?s sculptures, which embody the history and heritage of its people and landscape. One of the highlights of my work is By the Banks of the Bow, one of the largest sculptural artworks in North America. To enhance the visual impact of the image, I utilized Photoshop, particularly to create a dramatic sky that seamlessly complements the dynamism of the horses and the cowboy.This piece celebrate

    This long exposure shot is from August, 2024. I was visiting Liberty State Park, New Jersey. From Liberty park you get such an AMAZING view of the NYC skyline looking across the water. It?s awesome during the day but even more magical at night as you can see. I?d recommend a visit here just for the views to anyone.
