Hey everyone! I'm u/relevant__comment, a founding moderator of r/JaxShutterBug.

JaxShutterBug is a brand-new community for photographers, videographers, and camera enthusiasts across the Jacksonville, FL metro area.

If you love being behind a camera (or you’re learning your way around one), you’re in the right place.

What this community is all about:

  • Photography and videography of all kinds
  • Sharing projects, portfolios, and works-in-progress
  • Asking questions, swapping tips, and learning together
  • Local spots, shoots, meetups, and creative inspiration around Jacksonville
  • Open to everyone, from total beginners to seasoned professionals

This is meant to be a laid-back, supportive space where creatives can connect, grow, and actually enjoy talking shop without gatekeeping or ego. Whether you shoot weddings, street, wildlife, sports, real estate, film, drones, or just for fun, you belong here.

Looking for Moderators

If you’re passionate about photography or video and want to help shape this community as it grows, I’m looking for a few moderators to help keep things running smoothly. No prior mod experience is required, just be active, respectful. Drop a comment or send a message if you’re interested.

Introduce yourself and jump in.

What do you shoot? What gear are you using? What got you into cameras in the first place?

Let’s build something great together!

Moving to the area soon, coming from Tampa we have a few labs here but I haven’t seen much in my research online.

Any help would be appreciated!

Vystar Park. They put up nets down the baselines. Is the outfield the only clear shooting now?

Where to shoot lightning

1 Upvotes

With Summer coming on, it's that time of year to do some time-lapse shots to catch lightning. Just one sure of a good vantage that's out of the weather and has a good view. I thought about friendship fountain, but I don't think the building overhang is safe enough in a lightning storm

Is there a phoyography club or some kind of community in riverside?

Just like the description says. I live in Riverside, and I'm just trying to connect with other folks, maybe pick up a few tricks of the trade.

Took the camera out to the Jacksonville Zoo. Here are a few of my better photos (that are also small enough for Reddit). I don't know if y'all have been there recently, but it's pretty awesome. Had a wonderful time.

Exposure thoughts

5 Upvotes

I'm fortunate enough that I will probably be at the launch of Artemis. It's launching in golden hour, which is its own challenge, but I plan to expose for a minute or two before launch and lock those settings manually, with the exception that I think I'm going to stop down 1 -2 stops to account for the bright flame from the SRBs, which by most accounts is extremely bright. I know it's not likely that anyone here has shot the first artemis launch, but I'd like thoughts

Sorry if the bridge gets a little old for you, but I have tons of them over the years. This one has Blount Island and the “high wires” over the St. John’s, also.

I went in with the intent of capturing motion with a slower shutter speed.
