Milford Photography Group

Get ready for a unique automotive photography experience!

Milford Photo is hosting a JDM Night Meet on July 18th from 7-10 PM in our parking lot. We'll have a collection of stunning Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) vehicles on display, providing incredible subjects to add to your portfolio.

To make this nighttime shoot truly spectacular, we will supply dynamic and interesting lighting setups. Photographers are invited to come capture these iconic cars under the stars and experiment with creative lighting techniques.

Don't miss this chance to refine your night photography skills and connect with fellow enthusiasts!

• Having trouble understanding the concepts of photography?
• Images not coming out the way you expected?
• Wish you had someone next to you to explain things?

Join me for a casual, intimate walk as we explore Milford's downtown area and work at creating consistently better images.

## OBJECTIVE:

This workshop is to get you thinking as a photographer. The outcome being able to capture the natural beauty around us to create display worthy photographs.
We will meet on the steps in front of Milford City Hall for introductions and a brief Q&A before heading out.
I will point out potential concepts and explain possible problems you may encounter and how to overcome them. You'll then be let loose to explore that concept on your own. I'll be right there next to you if you need assistance. After a bit we'll regroup, have a short discussion and move on to the next scenario.
Group discussions will be governed by what we find, what kinds of questions are asked and how conversation progresses naturally. This is a no pressure workshop and more information than you can handle will be tossed around. You may want to bring a small notepad to record your findings.

## WHAT TO BRING:

• Definitely bring your camera with fresh batteries and clear memory cards. CHARGE YOUR BATTERIES!
• A normal to telephoto lens is suggested, a variable zoom lens is ideal.
• Bring your manual with you if you are not familiar with your camera. Alternatively, you can download a digital version to your smartphone.
• Tripod is not essential but bring it if you can as we will end up by the waterfall at the duck pond. You can bring a monopod in lieu of a tripod.
• A notepad is nice to have to take notes with.
• Prepare for the weather. Bring appropriate clothing and sun protection. Wear comfortable shoes for walking.
• Bring plenty of water. A small cooler works to keep things cool, but keep that in the car. A snack or two is also nice to have on hand.

We'll be out for about two (plus) hours so don't weigh yourself down too heavily.
