The presentation is intended for all types of photography. We will look at practical application of light as a way to enhance our photos and also as a creative tool. Utilising three of the main components of light, quality, quantity and colour we will explore particle application of light using natural light, continuous light and flash.

Whether we travel specifically to take photos or just take snapshots here and there on our vacations, as photographers we are all aware that a camera is an indispensable part of any trip. The images we capture help keep the memories of our voyages – both good and maybe not so good – alive for years after the credit card bill has been paid off.
Club members Georgette and Manfred Mueller have travelled across the globe with their cameras for the past four decades and counting. They will share many of their experiences through this presentation, helping to explain through their images the photographic genre called Travel Photography.
Along with tips on timing, photographic gear to take, travel safety, lighting and post-processing, they will share anecdotes from their travels abroad and at home, They hope you will find these educational, informative and useful when taking photographs on your own future journeys.

Description: Discover how mindfulness and creativity come together to transform the way you see the world through your camera. Creativity Through Contemplative Photography invites photographers of all levels to move beyond technique and perfection, into a practice of presence and personal expression.
This approach trains the eye to notice not only the spectacular and obvious, but also the quiet beauty of ordinary moments—details often overlooked in the pursuit of grand, attention-grabbing images. By slowing down and truly seeing, you’ll learn to create photographs that reflect a deeper connection to your surroundings.
Bio: Henry Fernando is a contemplative photographer based in Ottawa, Canada, whose twin passions for travel and photography continually inspire his work. Through travel, he finds new perspectives and insights into the world and himself.
For more than 20 years, Henry has practiced and taught a mindful, contemplative approach to photography—one that celebrates both the striking and the subtle. He shares his vision through talks and workshops, encouraging others to embrace the art of truly seeing and to find meaning in the small, everyday details that many might overlook.
