People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

    Title or Location: Biddeford Pool, ME
    Before moving to Philadelphia, I lived in Maine for 10 years. On December 28th, 2013, a very cold and windy day, I spotted an a young snowy owl, with a duck, in a mud flat. I put on a pair of waders, and trudged through mid calf high mud, to get the light and the wind in my back. I moved very slow so I would not disturb the bird. The thing about Biddeford pool, is there's a significant tide difference. And what's an exposed mud flat at low tide, is deep water at high tide. As the tide came

    I was waiting for the night fall to take the setting Milky Way. The day wasn?t clear so I wasn?t planning on taking any sunset photos. As I was looking for a composition I saw the small pathway between two boulders leading down. Also the small rocks kinda positioned in as lines leading to the main subject - sugarloaf rocks. As the sun goes down towards the horizon golden light started hitting the rocks giving a golden colour to them. I decided that it was a moment I couldn?t miss so started shoo

    photo taken in Edinburgh in one of the city parks, I was visiting with the intention of taking a few photos on the autumn theme. The photographic equipment used was a canon eos 7D mark 2 and a Canon EF 70 - 300 mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM lens. I took the photo from the ground to capture the right angle of view and perspectives, significantly reflecting the dynamics of the shot.
