ABOUT MODESTO

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

    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.

    Thank you for considering my image, I know it's a little different from what is usually shared here.While I have been pointing my camera at the night skies for a few years now, this is my first attempt at doing it the way NASA does it. I made a few mistakes along the way and there is much room for improvement, but I am pleased with the final result considering.For this photo of the Heart and Fish Head nebula I used a 45MP, micro 4/3 mono (black & white) camera with a cooled sensor and s

    Title or Location: On the Island of Kauai at a very popular swimming area on the Eastern shore of Kauai
    While taking a break and enjoying the gorgeous weather, we decided to take a break from tourist to relaxing in this swimming area. The area is secluded from the Pacific Oceann by a manmade barrier for the safety of the swimmers. Image with Canon EOS 5D w/ Canon AF28-105 EOS LENS. 100 ASA, 1/250 sec. At f11. Gorgeous day.

    This was my first attempt of capturing the Milky Way in 2026. The Milky way core became visible around 3am under a new moon. The low levels of light pollution enable me capture a high level of detail.

    Title or Location: Lake Toblino, Italy
    May 2013 ? after a day spent visiting some friends in the north of Italy, while driving home, I came across a small lake with a tiny island and a castle (Lake Toblino).What made everything even more magical was the mist rising from the water, especially considering it was a warm day. The scene felt almost unreal, as if it belonged somewhere much further north than Italy.I was at the very beginning of my photography journey, with so many things to learn (and still many today). I had just
