The City at Night

The City at Night

Friday 20 June
Downtown Modesto - 9pm - 2 Hours
Modesto Photography Group
Sarina Schieferstein
Many people don't think about nighttime being a good time to do photography since there's a lack of light. However, armed with knowledge about your camera's settings and the properties of light, nighttime photography can be a lot of fun.

In this meetup, you'll learn about the best camera settings for nighttime photography. We'll also explore the kinds of light available to us and how to use that light to make some awesome photos. As always, there are exercises that will help you put your new knowledge to work.

This 16x20 oil on panel winter scene portrays a red tractor that stands out against a snowy backdrop, parked in front of a rustic barn. The barn, with weathered wood and a sloping roof, is nestled among tall evergreen trees dusted with snow. In the foreground, a figure in an orange jacket and blue pants.

I started learning about Dot Mandala Art at the end of last year, and the more I created, the more I became addicted to it. Creating this art has been incredibly therapeutic for my mind. I began with small pieces, and this particular artwork is the largest piece I've made so far( 45cm)It took me about 12 hours to complete.

Hello, My name is Sandra Sanchez. The background on this particular art piece is quite interesting . I had just gotten a new sketch pad, and I wanted the first page to eye opening. I wanted a piece from the heart, something my audience would feel. I wanted this pic to be something I would feel every time I felt like giving up . I lost my older, and only brother to cancer. Shortly after , I lost my Grandmother who raised me suddenly. Each day is a struggle without my brother, and my Nana . I love

Title or Location: Mountain Top Splendor
Years ago, while hiking in the Sierra, I came across an old abandoned church - literally in the middle of nowhere. It seemed odd, out of place. I even knocked on it to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Ever since I've had a fascination for old abandoned places and the stories they could tell. As I work on a painting like this one, Mountain Top Splendor, I usually can't help developing a story about it. The home was once occupied by a veteran of the great war, who sough peace and serenity with his
