Chris Mayne

Chris Mayne is very interesting a good photographer. There are a lot of things he showed us and the photo's he showed us. The first thing he showed us was his picture of birds. He took a bunch of bird pictures but from many different angles. He taught us that patience is rewarding because finding that perfect picture can take a long time to do. Mayne personally like to get down flat on the ground and take his pictures that way. He mentioned that it gave him more stability and less shakiness from his hands so he can take a perfect picture. What I thought the best pictures he took were from the Hummingbird. When the hummingbird was taking the nectar from the plant I thought that was cool to see its wings not blurred from him capturing the bird. It is not everyday you get to see a hummingbird's wings in motion and be able to see its wings clearly. 

Not only he mentioned his pictures it is the equipment he used. He loved to use his cannon cameras. But it was not only the camera's that was important to him, it was the his other equipment like different types of holders. There was one holder he showed us and I was able to try it on. It was a holder that was able to make it more stable than use two hands. It rested on your stomach while you hold the camera, making your stomach almost like a third hand. It was also cool to see the different lenses. I got to look inside the lens and looked at how powerful and clear the zoom power was. It was an overall fun experience to see a professional photographer and his photo's and what he used to make those photo's perfect.
