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.

    The stark contrast between the bright tower and the surrounding shadows mirrors the idea of hope and vigilance amidst uncertainty. It reminds us that even in moments of calm or solitude, a quiet presence ensures safety and security, much like unseen forces or people in our lives who are always looking out for us, even when we don't notice.

    The significance of this shot for me was it was my first American Bald Eagle I had captured in the wild - after my wife, Susan, pointed it out to me. I was thrilled and determined to make the best capture I could.Upon closer examination I was awe inspired to see (in detail) the death stare, that razor like tool cutting beak, the unbelievable chest muscles and tremendous talons.
