    After a little issue finding the photographer it turned into a fun evening, though the main actors (birds) were a bit shy. I did enjoy the company of fellow photographers/enthusiasts and the check in form Gayle on technique and settings.

    Gayle was lovely and very welcoming. The group ranged from people who had never shot with more than their phone camera to others like myself who wanted to get a better understanding of using a camera manually, and all of us walked away having learnt quite a bit!

    This beginners' photography class is perfect for anyone looking to move beyond auto mode and take control of their camera settings. As someone with no prior experience, I found the session incredibly informative and accessible. The instructor explained the various shooting modes and demystified key terms like aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. By the end of the class, I felt confident experimenting with manual mode, adjusting settings to achieve the creative effects I envisioned. It?s a fantastic introduction to understanding your camera and building the skills to create intentional, well-composed images. Highly recommended for aspiring photographers!

    Gayle Raymond
    Hi there!
    I have been fascinated by the many facets of photography since I was a kid. It's an incredible art form, isn't it?
    I studied a Media Communications Degree and Bachelor of Education, so I've worked as a photographer in the industry and also as a secondary school media studies teacher (inc dark room and digital photography).
    I am a professional photographer in Darwin, with a wide and varied client base seeking photo coverage of all different kinds of events and purposes.
    You won't believe this, but landscape and bird photography is my go-to hobby still and holding a camera, switching lenses in a hurry to catch that shot, still gives me that buzz!
    See you at the next Meet-up :)

    Gayle Raymond is available for private bookings

    Weddings, portraits, personal brand portraits, events and sports. Maternity and newborns.

    Title or Location: Mangrove boardwalk Casuarina Coastal Reserve Darwin
    The photo was taken in the early morning along the mangrove boardwalk track at the casuarina coastal reserve. The tide was running out and there was a real sense of peacefulness as you could hear the water slowly trickling out among the mangroves. The sun light spreads a gentle glow through the canopy and onto the mangroves with their roots extending out into the creek and finally the light reflects down into the water as it slowly runs out to the ocean. I feel this photo captures the peacef

    Title or Location: Darwin Botanical Garden
    After the rain, I decided to take a walk to the small pond behind the function room at Darwin Botanical. It seemed like the water lilies might be in bloom, and I imagined the sweet scent of their flowers, freshened by the rain, drawing in a delicate dragonfly.

    Title or Location: Gunn point, NT
    My dad recently passed away, he was a huge fan of birds and the outdoors. Soon after I took a solo trip out to Gunn Point, I spotted this crow who was very friendly and I followed him around for a long while trying to get a good shot, along the way I found many other photo opportunities. The crow then walked me back to the car and just as I was about to leave, it jumped up on the fence and posed nicely for this photo, I thanked my dad for one last photo opportunity.

    This is Craig, a Big Tusker?a term used to describe elephants with exceptionally long tusks. Craig is believed to be the oldest living Big Tusker in Kenya, boasting the longest tusks in the country. At approximately 52 years old, he is a true giant of Amboseli National Park.I was with a group of photographers exploring Amboseli National Park in Kenya when our driver and guide informed us that Craig and his fellow Tusker, Mike, had ventured outside the park and were now in a nearby game prese

    Title or Location: Photo was taken ar the Will Rogers tower in the cultural district of Fort Worth, TX.
    I wanted to shoot the lunar eclipse but at the same time incorporate some quintessential Fort Worth icons into the image for context. I knew I would need to use a very long telephoto to get a large moon but in doing so knew that the rest of the image would need to be some distance from me due to the tunnel vision of the telephoto. I used Photopills and The Photographer?s Ephemeris to plan the shot which was taken with Fuji X system mirrorless equipment.

    Using light and shade to capture the beauty in the harshness of urban industrial architecture. Rekindling a love of black and white photography, I took this photograph whilst on a Brighton Photography Group 'Urban Architecture in Black & White Photography' study event led by Tobias Slater-Hunt. Having spent a winter of dark clouds, rain and dull skies, it was an opportunity to make the most of the year's new beautiful March sunshine.
