ABOUT MODESTO
PHOTOGRAPHY
GROUP
Come along to our photo sessions to dust off your camera and get snap-happy with a professional photography instructor.

Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers!

We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in Modesto.

  • New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month. And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next on is!

  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

  • What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

    The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

    Join the Modesto Photography Group on Facebook to share your photos after the session.

    I felt it was worth the money spent. I Learned about light and actually shooting in bright light and how to overcome shadows I don?t want. The instructor gave plenty of time and asked quite often if there were any questions, very knowledgeable and fun

    It was my first class, Sarina did great job! I never thought I?d wrap my mind around my camera functions. She kept instructions easy for a beginner. I look forward to taking another class!

    Had an excellent evening. We could have gone on for hours. Really enjoyed the question and answer session and to hear how the others in attendance do their thing. I would do it again just for the experience and guidance.

    Title or Location: a Potterton garden, Aberdeenshire
    I planted 1 m sq of my garden with 4 different packets of bee-friendly flowers in April and had months of beautiful flowers (still!). This sunflower flowered quite late and during a rainy period, but a 100-focus point in-camera stack after one of the named storms, early in the morning before going to work, showed one soggy face of the sunflower's beauty. The trick is to try and find a composition that lets the subject breath - leaving the lens wide open and having a high shutter speed helps in

    I walked on the Ste-Helene?s Island a winter night and I saw the color of the Biosph?re. As I always take pictures with that color violet (it is the name of my grandchildren), I took this one. I just had my IPhone, but I took it anyway and I was surprise of the result.
