Crossroads Neighborhood - 9:30am - 2 Hours
Kansas City Photography Group
Darrin Dressler
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    It was very good. Emma did a great job explaining how each thing worked individually and then combined.

    It was a great evening to be out shooting the stars. Our instructor, Emma, had scouted for a good place to meet and succeeded in finding the right spot. Her instructions for successfully shooting the Milky Way were simple yet very effective.

    This class was great. Emma was such a helpful teacher. I took another class with a different teacher and did not get as much out of the the other class. Emma had a specific agenda she wanted to cover and ensured we covered those items, as well as anything else the class wanted. That made the class feel focused and helped me get the most out of it. I highly recommend

    When I first saw this sight all I could say was "whaaaaat" I pulled over and found my way to the highest point I could find quickly. I don't think I've personally ever witnessed colors like that in the sky. So vibrant and beautiful.

    I was recently visiting our mission Church in Turkana. The Turkana region is extremely remote and the local population is made of small groups of nomadic people. While there 4 villages came together to join in worship with us. This image is of one of the village tribal elders.

    I was walking around the rocks at sunset, enjoying the clouds, and thinking I had better get to shelter as that rain burst was heading my way. The sun suddenly highlighted the underside of the rain cloud, and I managed a few shots.I also got rained on very soon afterwards!Canon R6M2 with kit lens 24-105mm.ISO 2000, 24mm, f9.0, 1/1000s.

    The Old Oak Tree, 2025.This is one of my favorite trees. It is situated alone in a huge field on a little farm near where I live. Every time I see it and the little rope swing that hangs from it, it just fills me with a sense of peace and tranquility. I wanted to portray that in this minimalist, high key version of it.

    In January 25, I went on my first safari. The wildlife we saw, exceeded my expectations. We tracked this leopard, knicknamed Tom, the tatty eared leopard, for several miles. Eventually he stopped for a rest on the branch of a tree, just a few hundred yards away from our truck. I took numerous shots, but felt that I had really connected with him in this shot. It felt as though he was looking directly into my eyes!
