Fotogroep ZIEN, Miksang Contemplatieve Fotografie - oftewel: Mindfulness met je camera - deelnemers gezocht! Ik zie, ik zie... (wat jij niet ziet!) Fotogroep met het thema 'Mediteren met je camera, vanuit een 'leeg en puur ik' de wereld ZIEN'. 10 bijeenkomsten per jaar, 19.30-21.00 uur € 295,00 alle niveaus, beginners/gevorderden/professioneel. Zie voor de juiste data de website Artstudio23.com/miksang. De nadruk ligt op ZIEN, en daardoor beter fotograferen en mooiere composities maken. Uitermate geschikt als u iets minder de techniek wilt beoefenen maar wel geïnspireerd wilt worden in uw fotografie. Leer 'onbevooroordeeld, leeg kijken' om zo tot nog betere foto composities te komen. Ongeveer eens per 3/4 weken is er een bijeenkomst, waarin we eigen foto’s bespreken, stijl/thema’s doornemen maar ook de fotografie klassiekers gaan bekijken om tot meer verdieping in de fotografie te komen. Docent: Melanie E. Rijkers. Vanaf 4 deelnemers kunnen we starten - nieuwe serie bijeenkomsten beginnen dan wanneer de groep groot genoeg is. Interesse? [email protected] of [email protected] We komen bijeen in onze fotostudio aan de Speelhuislaan 173 in Breda (Backer & Rueb gebouw) waar u gemakkelijk en gratis kunt parkeren voor de deur.

Nikon D7000, 100mm (28-200), 1/1600, f/5.3, ISO 500 By the fifth day I was beginning to tire. It was a lot to absorb. We moved to Louisville, Colo., for the shooting part of the day, and wow was it ever hot. Plus I had to hit the road back to Kansas as soon as class ended. In short, not the best of conditions for the necessary state of calm and awareness. Still, I managed to get two or three good photos. The assignment was “simplicity,” also known as isolation. The blue door at the top of this post is my favorite, another I may print and frame. Nikon D7000, 200mm (28-200), 1/4000, f/5.6, ISO 500 As I limped down the sidewalk, this pine cone fell out of its tree and came to rest right at my feet. Such an obvious invitation proved impossible to decline. Nikon D7000, 66mm (28-200), 1/80, f/4.8, ISO 500 To escape the heat for awhile, I hid in the local library. One of the walls sported a school of ceramic fish. The appeal of this shot is due more to the artist who created the fish than to my skill with a camera. Still, it’s a fun shot. Thus endeth the Miksang expedition. Next week I’ll return to more standard fare.

I couldn't resist posting another mushroom shot - slightly different composition and processing on this one. I just love the detail.
