Next Class is on Wednesday 21 February - 10.00am

Hi Everyone,

Have you been clicking those shutters since the last meeting? With composition elements in mind, obviously.

Remember the challenge:

 If you haven't already done so, remember to send us one image you have taken since the last meeting using one or more elements of composition. Sent them to Diane. dianebohlen@gmail.com

On Wednesday, we'll talk about an other element important in photography, and that is natural light and how to make use of it.

Light is one element to which we must pay particular attention so as to communicate visually effectively. Light and composition are the most important elements of photography. After all the meaning of the word “Photograph” comes from the Greek; photo = light and graph = to draw. So photograph = to draw with light.

Our First Meeting

Hi Everyone,

We had 36 U3A members and residents attending our first meeting yesterday morning. Diane talked about Composition of an image to make it engage the viewer, evoke emotion and tell a story. She explained the Rule of Thirds, Lines, Patterns and framing a shot being ingredients that can be used to create stunning images.

The next meeting is on Wednesday 21 February when the topic will be using natural light to enhance your photographs.

If you wish to participate, the challenge is:
1. to find the grid in your camera, phone etc.
2. to take a photo using some of the rules of composition and send it to dianebohlen@gmail.com

We'll start the next lesson with a brief Show and Tell segment with your photos.
