Berner Oberland Foto-Exkursion

Begleiten Sie mich auf eine herrliche Tour durch die Berner Oberland-Alpen. Wir nehmen den Lift von Stechelberg nach Mürren und wandern dann hinauf zum Schilthorn. Auf dem Weg dorthin werden wir über künstlerische Landschaftsfotografie diskutieren. Wie gehen wir an das Thema heran? Was sind die Entscheidungen, die wir treffen, wenn es um Ausrüstung, Techniken, Position, Perspektive, Bildausschnitt und vieles mehr geht?Ich werde mich auf die Frage konzentrieren: Wie können wir unseren eigenen Stil entwickeln, anstatt nur zu versuchen, die ‹Realität› auf einem fotografischen Medium zu reproduzieren? Wie wir die Natur und die Landschaft sehen und fühlen, hat viel mit unserer eigenen Wahrnehmung und unserem emotionalen Zustand zu tun. Lassen Sie uns darüber sprechen und einige atemberaubende Fotos von einer aussergewöhnlichen Region der Schweizer Alpen aufnehmen.&nbsp;Was werden wir lernen:1.&nbsp;Das Zusammenspiel von Blende, Verschlusszeit, ISO2. Wie und wann wollen wir ND (Neutral Density)-Filter verwenden. Wenn sie welche besitzen, bringen sie sie bitte mit. Wenn nicht, keine Sorge, wir können das Thema mit meinen besprechen.3. In welchen Situationen und wie wollen wir Polarisatorfilter benutzen. Gleiche wie unter 2.4.&nbsp;Die Verwendung verschiedener Brennweiten und deren Auswirkungen.5. Bildkomposition: Die Drittel-Regel, zentrierte Komposition und Symmetrie, führende Linien, Dreiecke und Diagonale, Einfachheit und Minimalismus.6.&nbsp;JPEG oder RAW?7.&nbsp;Die beste Art und Weise, Fotos aufzunehmen, damit man mehr Möglichkeiten in der Postproduktion hat.Benötigte Technik:1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DSLR oder DLSM Kamera2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Zoom Objektiv (18mm – 300mm z.B.)3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stativ4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ND-Filter für Ihr Objektiv, falls sie welche habenFalls sie sich für Analogfotografie interessieren und eine Analogkamera besitzen, bringen sie sie und ihren Lieblingsfilm gern mit.Ich freue mich, viele andere Natur-Fotografie-Liebhaber kennenzulernen.

What are the decisions we make when it comes to equipment, techniques, position, perspective, framing, and lot more.I will focus on the question: How can we develop our own style rather than just trying to replicate ‘reality' on a photographic medium. How do we see and feel nature and landscape has to do a lot with our own perception and emotional state. Let's discuss this and capture some stunning photographs from an exceptional region of the Swiss Alps.&nbsp;What are we going to learn:1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The interaction of aperture, shutter speed, ISO2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How and when do we want to use ND (Neutral Density)-Filters.

Photographie de paysage au Château de Chillon

Lors de l'atelier de photographie de paysage du Swiss Photo Club au Château de Chillon, nous développerons le processus complet de prise de vue d'un paysage mythique du lac Léman. La recherche du point de vue (repérage), le choix des équipements, le cadrage, ainsi que des techniques avancées de mise au point et d'exposition, seront les points clés de cet atelier. Le cours traitera en grande partie la manière de planifier la prise de vue d'une photographie bien précise, afin d'obtenir l'image que vous recherchez. Naturellement, les facteurs externes de la lumière et des conditions météorologiques créeront toujours des effets difficiles à anticiper, mais produiront fréquemment d'excellentes photographies. Le cours a également pour objectif de vous apprendre à identifier le contexte du lieu à photographier afin d'obtenir des " effets visuels " qui confèrent un caractère dramatique et unique aux images finales. HDR, longues expositions, golden hourainsi que d'autres techniques créatives.Informations sur le cours• Lieu de RDV : Café Byron.
