    Michelle was a top-notch presenter and was highly knowledgeable on the subject matter. As a newbie to Lightroom but not to Photoshop and Nikon NX, she showed me why I should be using Lightroom, which I avoided in the past because I thought the learning curve was too steep to learn by myself.

    The instructor, Michelle, did a good job even though she had to rush through the Lightroom panels because we spent a lot of time on more basic aspects of Lightroom. It is not her fault, it?s ours. We needed help on organization that the program provides and we all benefitted. But that is something for a lower-level course in more basic Lightroom capabilities. She did an excellent job of explaining the program and its capabilities regarding organization. Other areas, however, were given short shrift, however. Her explanation of other aspects of LR were good and helpful as well, and I learned a lot. Her final discussion of how we might benefit from PPC and other groups was excellent and much appreciated by us all.

    Michelle Fox
    Michelle accidentally started a portrait photography business 18 years ago, and the rest, as they say, is history. After many years of chasing children with a camera and nurturing a long-standing love affair with high school senior photography, her passion took a distinctive left turn into the world of landscapes and wildlife. Fueled by her favorite chai lattes, she also enthusiastically teaches beginning photography, editing classes and meetups through the Denver Photography Group. Her images can be found at a gallery in Frisco, CO, as well as (coming soon!) on her website.

    Michelle Fox is available for private bookings

    This first-year female Red-tailed Hawk was spotted on an educational consultation at Rocky Mtn Arsenal. As a young bird she was extremely curious, making several exploratory flybys in-between hunting excursions. On one of these flybys, she gave us the perfect head-on photo opportunity which resulted in the photo you see here. Equipment used: Canon EOS R5 Adapted EF 800mm F5.6L IS USMCamera and lens mounted on a monopod.

    This is composite shot of the full Snow Moon Rise on 2/24/24. I combined my landscape city shot with my moon shot and the moon placement is accurate for this evening. The skies cooperated this evening providing a nice clear sky for the initial moonrise. Moon photography is challenging but SO rewarding when you?re able to capture such beauty. Camera used: Canon Rebel T8i Edited in Lightroom and images combined in PS. Landscape settings: Lens EF S18-55mm @48MM 6sec, F/20, ISO 200M

    This October image of a chipmunk was taken on my Lanark County property, I prefer to photograph small wildlife such as this fellow in a natural rustic setting. I always take my images of wildlife big or small early morning or late afternoon?not only are creatures more active but the low angle of light provides better modeling of the subject. When I frame my subjects, I look for angles that provide uncluttered backgrounds, I leave negative space in the framing to allow for text to be added if nee

    I recently acquired an older exotic lens, probably circa 1980s. It is a Nikon 400mm f2.8 AI-S which is a completely manual lens with no VR. I paired it with my Nikon D850 to see if I could learn to tackle manual focus. The hummingbirds are congregating on the front of my property where agave plants are flowering at this time of year. This makes it easier for me to practice. This Broad-Billed Hummingbird landed on a stick. The camera settings were 1/3200s at f2.8, auto ISO-320. This lens is old,

    Title or Location: This photo was taken at Couta Rocks on the north west coast of Tasmania
    This is one of my favourite places in Tassie, the north west coast. Couta Rocks are in the distance, as is a blanket of stars and a full Moon. It is such a beautiful and powerful place up there, a different world, one filled with spectacular scenery and the power of nature, not to mention the cleanest air on Earth. I long to go back to this amazing place, to share more of it's splendour though my photographic eye.
