    David Monseur was an outstanding instructor. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and down-to-earth. I would love to take future lessons from him after I gain some more practice on my own.

    What I liked most about class - uniqueness! Walking around in the forest chasing waterfalls and finding the best sites for pics was fun. Also, I liked the duck challenge! Time and day of event was perfect. I got really good tips from Cheyenne. Great learning experience; this was not my first class and I still learned new things...I think that a small number of class participants was best - I am not sure how the instructor would have had time for any more individual teaching if there were more of us! Very friendly instructor and friendly people in class...

    This was my first event and to be honest, I was hesitant to sign up because I wasn't sure what I would get out of it. But, this was great! Cheyenne did a great job instructing, making us part of the event and giving feedback. Her instruction was perfect! She is very energetic and passionate about photography and it showed in her interaction and instruction. I can't wait to sign up for another event!!

    I thought it was a very good event. I especially appreciated the one-on-one attention Cheyenne gave me. No other meetup leader has spent that much time with me. I'm look forward to taking another one of Cheyenne's classes!

    Cheyenne Stone was amazing . She took the time to go over each person camera and show us some base setup for our camera. When I came I had no clue what my camera could do, but when I left I had a good understanding of how to take pictures. .

    This was a ton of fun and really gave me a ton of insight to night photography and how to adjust my camera. Isaiah was a terrific coach and teacher! Definitely want to do more classes with him!

    Title or Location: Powell, OH
    After hearing for several days that there was "a chance" that we might see the Aurora Borealis, I prepped my gear (Sony A7iii with a 14mm Wide Angle Lens and my Tripod) on the off-chance that we would actually see the lights. I stepped out on my deck at about 10pm on Friday night (May 10th) and could faintly see that something was happening. Suddenly a portion of the sky turned fuschia and kept changing and moving. I ran in and hurriedly grabbed my gear just in time to catch the show before dimm

    This image was captured in the community garden area of Franklin Park in April. Just as the flowers started to bloom. The tiny white buds against the greenery caught my attention.

    Title or Location: Pickerington Ponds Metro Park
    I took this photo at Pickerington Ponds around 7:00 pm earlier this year. The sunset made the goldenrods appear as if they were glowing, and this redwing blackbird was swinging on the plant while eating its seeds. I used a Nikon D500 with a 200-500mm f/5.6 lens. The camera settings were 1/1000s, ISO 7200, f/5.6, 500mm. I shot this image in RAW format and processed in LrC.

    Title or Location: Hayden Run Falls Park
    I took a nature photography class to try and keep up on my photography skills and see if I could learn something new. We were taking pictures of a waterfall and I decided to stand back and see if I could get a more interesting shot. This older lady walked up to look more closely at the waterfall and I thought it would be a great shot. It turned out much better than expected!
