Wildwood Park - 4pm - 2 Hours
Harrisburg Photography Group
Robert Bonsall
Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture nature in a visually interesting way. We will be looking at composition, focus, and colour.

Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. 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. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

Title or Location: Time's Etchings
This piece was created using my first ink brush pen as part of my practice in grayscale art. I was drawn to the challenge of capturing the deep wrinkles and expressive features of the subject, as they tell a story of time and experience. The fluidity of the ink allowed me to explore bold contrasts and intricate details, pushing me to refine my technique. As I continue honing my skills, I look forward to studying artists with similar styles to deepen my understanding of texture, form, and emotion

Title or Location: Diver Restored
This piece was painted to honor the craft of mechanical watches, which has survived for centuries and even through the digital and A.I. age. This design was based on the 1953 Blancpain 50 Fathoms, the first diver's watch. I wanted to capture the spirit of the design, as it is brought to original specs and into the sea environment for which it was engineered. The depiction of light through fluid, and the refraction and distortion of solidity, was a technical challenge that I happily explored.

Title or Location: in a not so secret garden
Our daughter Shawn was visiting from Los Angeles which she calls home these days. We have a garden of a sort in our front yard and Shawn was looking over some of the plant life wearing a black broad brimmed hat and a long matching dress. I ran inside our house to grab my old camera and asked her to not move for a few seconds. The dappled light in the front yard completed the composition. There is a small 12x12 that Shawn took back to LA and this 20x20 version. This was featured in the Mn State F
