Nature Photography Meetup - Levington Lagoon, River Orwell - 3:00 - 2 hours
Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture
nature in a visually interesting way. We’ll be looking at composition, focus and
colour. We live in such a beautiful part of the country and the River Orwell has a wonderful selection of wading birds. Through out the seasons greenshank, redshank, dunlin, short-eared owl and pipits have been seen. "
The saltmarsh contains plants including Sea Lavender and Sea Purslane.
So you could try to capture the colours of saltmarsh in micro, if you have a macro or telephoto lens. Or capture landscape in wide-angle, the passing weather and the changing tide.
Sea birds may also be moving between locations up and down the river depending on the state of the tide or their feeding habits. I expect we will reach the Suffolk Yacht Harbour Marina before returning to go back to the pub where there are fantastic river views down to Felixstowe.

Landscape Photography Meetup - Woodbridge - 09.30am - 2 hours
This Landscape Photography will feature a stroll along the River Deben including the famous and still operational 'Tidemill'. Boating activities are seen along the river aswell as a number of interesting houseboats. A great destination to practice the main themes of our Landscape lessons while looking for focal points, with suitable camera, aperture and iso settings. Another theme will be caturing movement, for example the water and tide as it changes. I am sure at the end of the seesion you will have found many new and original compositions. Of course we will have plenty of opportunity to share photos, stop and enjoy the scenery between challenges. The Tea Hut takeaway is also conveniently located. The river heads down river and bends around an into Martlesham Creek for peaceful nature shots, or in the other direction passed the boat yards to Melton so there are differnt options to take.

Christchurch Park Ipswich with Jackie Cooper, 17th April.
This lesson was carried out in a very relaxed and friendly way and, being a small group meant everybody got all the help and advice they needed. I needed help with composition and I came away from the lesson feeling that I had now got a much better understanding. I also found out a bit about Histograms, which is something I hadn't really bothered with before. All in all, a very enjoyable and informative 2 hours. Many thanks Jackie, and it was a pleasure meeting you.
