Today's Class

Hi Everyone,

It was good to see so many new class members at our first lesson for the year, as well as all existing members who returned for a refresher.

Diane presented one of her favourite subjects, 'COMPOSITION' widely considered the most important ingredient in photography.

Today's lesson notes are now updated here on this blog if you missed the lesson or want to read it again.

At the next meeting on the 20 February, we'll start with a SHOW and TELL segment. If you wish to participate, please send Diane an image you made since today's lesson.

Send it to dianebohlen@gmail.com.

This blog will be updated a week before the next class to give details of what we have planned.

First Meeting - Wednesday 6 February - 10.00am

Hi Everyone,

Ready for another year of photography?

Our “Photography Basics” starts again on Wednesday 6 Feb at Elements Living @ Springwood at 10:00am.

Our lessons help you make better photos irrespective of what type of camera you have, whether it is your phone, a point and shoot or a DSLR. 

A good photo “ engages the viewer, tells a story and evokes emotion.” Our lessons will give you tips on how to do this.

The most important elements of photography are “Composition and Light” so that is where we will start.

The first lesson will be on how to compose your photos to engage the viewer. Even if you have heard it all before it is always good to refresh your memory.

So looking forward to seeing those who came last year as well as new people who are interested in improving their photography.

SEE YOU ON WEDNESDAY 6 Feb

End of Term

Did you enjoy the "unusual" photographers, we discussed this morning, I hope it'll inspire some of you to create some of these images, for the Show and Tell segment in Term 1.

Cheers,

Bill and Diane
