Cayuga Nature Photographers

CNP members have been busy creating this summer. We shared samples of work at our meeting earlier this month - a diverse and interesting group of images! From photos captured on travels to macro shots - can you pick the image created by AI?

Coming up on September 7 we will be sharing our best of 'Summer Light'. Plenty of time before then to get out with your camera and catch the end of the summer rays.

We are back together tomorrow! Thursday, August 3 is a regular monthly 'share' meeting on Zoom. We'll be sharing what we are currently (or maybe even previously) been working on - do you have a project you are thinking about, or are doing, or maybe recently wrapped up? This will be a great session to show your work, whether it is still in progress or not. Looking forward to joining everyone in what promises to be a constructive session on 'What have I (you) been working on this summer!'

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! There is no meeting tomorrow night. Instead, there will be an in-person outing to the Cornell Botanic Garden this Saturday, July 8 at 8am. There will be a couple of exercises to try and plenty of time to just enjoy being out together capturing the images that you enjoy.

Join us for a presentation this week by Kathy Rasmussen - tips and lessons learned from a very special Out of Chicago Workshop in February at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, AZ. We will meet via Zoom at 7pm on this Thursday, May 4th. There will be lots of images and ideas shared!

Detail and drama were highlights of the images shared at our April 'Nature in Black and White' meeting. The photographs included landscapes and intimate details with plenty of texture and dramatic contrasts. Enjoy the images!

The February meeting provided a feast of images! The group outdid themselves with this year's 'best of' show, have a look at these varied and well crafted images from the group. All the work on curating, composing, and fostering creativity shows in these photographs.
