Architecture Photography

Saturday 07 December

Monkstown Rd - 10am - 2 Hours

Lucian Petronel Potlog

Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures.

In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use.

Macro Photography Meetup

Saturday 26 April

Stephen's Green Park - 10am - 2 Hours

Lucian Petronel Potlog

Macro photography is a unique form of photography that involves photographing small objects to make them look life-sized or more significant in the photo. The usual subjects include flowers and small insects, which we don't normally get to see up close with the naked eye.

The class will start when the insects are more active. So be ready to explore and capture breathe-taking macro images.

The Cadillac Ranch is an iconic sculpture located in Amarillo, Texas. The location is part of the famous route 66. I went to visit a canyon near the Cadillac Ranch and I decided to stay one more night to visit the sculpture in the early hours and I didn?t regret. The sunrise was magnificent and I managed to capture that moment with my camera.

Title or Location: Dun Laoghaire Harbour
This photo represents a milestone in my photography journey. Taken at Dun Laoghaire Harbour, it was my first attempt at long-exposure photography using a 10-stop ND filter. After much practice and learning, I finally captured the silky smooth water, the vibrant sunset sky, and the still boats all in a single frame. This image embodies my dream of creating something worthy of being displayed as wallpaper, a piece that brings warmth and serenity to any space. It's a moment I'm proud to share, show
