Downtown Chattanooga - 10am - 2 Hours

Chattanooga Photography Group

Scott Tinker

Light and shadow photography is a type of photography that focuses on capturing the interplay between light and shadow in a particular scene. This style of photography often produces dramatic and compelling images that can evoke strong emotions in the viewer.

Harsh light and the contrast between light and shadow can provide some interesting photo
opportunities, as well as some challenges!

In this meetup, we will be looking at how you can use your camera's settings to nail the exposure.

Title or Location: Medieval Gathering
This is a fantasy landscape inspired by old world charm. I gave it the title because of the little grouping near the center of interest looks like a medieval camp when you zoom in on it.

Title or Location: Standing Tall and Proud
Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers, so naturally I enjoy painting them. They always present with something new to learn while going through the painting process, as I find that no two are alike. I'm also a photographer so I have several images to choose from, but this one was telling me how proud she is to have such beauty so I selected it to create a piece of fine art from.
