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.

These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art.

As such, it can be used for a variety of styles, from landscape and street photography to portrait and product photography. In this meetup, we’ll review the basic camera settings. We’ll then cover some of the advantages of shooting with a prime lens, and some basic techniques to using the 50mm lens. As always, there will be ample opportunities for you to put your new knowledge into practice.

    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.

    Title or Location: Crosby beach.
    Had a drive over to take photos of the sunset with my fianc? Amanda, it had been a beautiful day we were expecting a lovely sunset, and we weren't disappointed. Crosby beach is particularly poignant for myself as my dad would spend hours there as a lad, he sadly passed away 4 years ago, so to me it's a special place, and always will be.
