    I liked the informal setting because there is so much to learn and had it been a structured class like setting, I would have been overwhelmed. Malika was helpful and patient. I?m glad there were only 2 of us that attended because we could really get individual, non rushed attention.

    Nick Rodriguez
    Hello, I am Nick Rodriguez. I was born and raised in San Antonio, TX and I still reside in the Alamo City. I have been a photographer since July 1984 (age 15). My career started at Fox Tech High School as a member of the yearbook staff. I photographed many football games for the yearbook, and as a reward several of my photos were selected for the 1986, 1987, and 1988 yearbooks.
    After graduation in June of 1988, I took some photography classes at San Antonio College. I worked at photography studio from February 1992 - February 1994. I also worked at a 1-Hour Photo Lab from May 1995 - June 2003. The owners of the photo lab retired, and I went into business for myself.
    In 2025, I was offered an opportunity to teach what I have learned since 1984, and I looking forward to sharing my knowledge with.

    Sunrise at the dunes was beautiful! Every rise and fall in elevation gave me new views and perspectives. The patterns in the sand, contrasting of sunlight and shade, it was a photography paradise. If you have not been to DV, I highly recommend it. Taken with a Nikon Z7ii with a 24-200mm lens.

    On a rainy, foggy day touring Kenai Fjords National Park by boat, I came upon these seals hanging out on a large piece of ice. The sun was peaking out to give the seals a bit of glow.

    Title or Location: Confluence park, SATX
    I'm a beginner photographer and I am try out multiple types and niche of photography to polish my skills and improve my knowledge so I can apply them in my creative work. Hopefully someday I can find my own unique voice in the photography world. I would say this flower and overall color of the image perfectly describes my current state, trying to stay optimistic and tapping into my imagination to be able to show the beauty of even the most mundane things to the world.

    Several pics of this Monarch fluttering around with another butterfly were snapped in the small flower garden at Eisenhower Park Trailhead. This late afternoon was mostly overcast, with rain coming in, but the short reprieve had the sun pop out and provided enough light for this shoot.

    I was sitting on our backyard picnic table. It was May 5, 2024 close to noon. I do this daily so that I can try different settings on my Canon EOS 80D. I'm very new to photography. We live in a rural area that's thriving with wildlife. I was fortunate enough to get this pic as this black vulture flew from the oak tree onto our fence. My settings were ISO5000 / 300mm / 0ev / ?5.6 / 1/1600s. Lens I used was EF70-300mm ?4-5.6 IS USM. I used Light Room to crop and add my name.

    With the camera in hand utilizing the 70-200 2.8 I carefully framed the shot, ensuring that the fence served as a leading line, guiding the viewer?s gaze through the composition.I experimented with angles, searching for the perfect perspective to capture the enchanting beauty of these vibrant blooms.

    Title or Location: Lanark County, Ontario
    This October image of a chipmunk was taken on my Lanark County property, I prefer to photograph small wildlife such as this fellow in a natural rustic setting. I always take my images of wildlife big or small early morning or late afternoon?not only are creatures more active but the low angle of light provides better modeling of the subject. When I frame my subjects, I look for angles that provide uncluttered backgrounds, I leave negative space in the framing to allow for text to be added if nee

    Title or Location: Tanque Verde Valley
    I recently acquired an older exotic lens, probably circa 1980s. It is a Nikon 400mm f2.8 AI-S which is a completely manual lens with no VR. I paired it with my Nikon D850 to see if I could learn to tackle manual focus. The hummingbirds are congregating on the front of my property where agave plants are flowering at this time of year. This makes it easier for me to practice. This Broad-Billed Hummingbird landed on a stick. The camera settings were 1/3200s at f2.8, auto ISO-320. This lens is old,

    Title or Location: This photo was taken at Couta Rocks on the north west coast of Tasmania
    This is one of my favourite places in Tassie, the north west coast. Couta Rocks are in the distance, as is a blanket of stars and a full Moon. It is such a beautiful and powerful place up there, a different world, one filled with spectacular scenery and the power of nature, not to mention the cleanest air on Earth. I long to go back to this amazing place, to share more of it's splendour though my photographic eye.
