Industrial Photography Meetup

Saturday 07 June
Brunswick Pl, North Docks - 10am - 2 Hours
Valentina Passerini
Industrial photography is a photographic niche that perfectly fits with the history of the city of Liverpool and with its landscape.In this meetup, I will show the participants how to find interesting views and compositions whilst immersed in the landscape of the North dockswith industrial photography you can use buildings and other man-made structures in the same way other photographers use trees and rolling hills in landscape photography. Wind farms, harbours, cement works, power stations, quarries, pylons and building sites are just a few of the industrial landscapes you can photograph. The Liverpool docks are the perfect setting for this kind of photography meetup.We will be starting with an overview of landscape photography technique, how to decide what to take a picture of and how to compose shots, we will then move into settings and more technical challenges to get an idea of when the camera behaves best for landscapes.

    Good location for subject (if extremely windy!). Presenter/instructor approachable and knowledgeable - and started/finished on time. Only issue for me was limited learning (given my experience) - not the fault of presenter who did have some suggestions on different shots to try to capture.

    Whilst visiting Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire, I came across these repeating arches and knew that the symmetry would make a photograph. As it was a overcast March afternoon I visualised the scene as black & white to give impact to the stonework. Nikon D700, 28-200mm lens. 1/100th @ f/8.0.

    Whilst out making photographs of the sun rising over Alfred Dock I remembered to look behind me. Caught in the emerging sun was the Peel Ports development of Miller's Quay. The colourful composition caught my eye but to make it more thought provoking I flipped the image. Nikon D4s, 105mm f/2.5 Ais lens, -1 exposure bias.

I hired a model I had seen and had come to do pool shots with another Photographer and he suggested I hire her and conceptualize the shoot. I?m not a professional and had no props but I bought some fabric and I used my leaf blower to make that effect. I periodically go back to those pictures and rework them with my iPhone apps for varying effects. You can see more of my work on Instagram. That day creat

    Thank you for considering my photo for Photo of the Week! I have a number of bottle brush trees in my back yard, and birds love the blossoms when they bloom in the Spring. I usually see numerous hummingbirds and sparrows, but I saw this gorgeous bird one afternoon resting in the branches. I was able to get a couple of shots off before it flew away.
