Monday's Meeting

Hi Members,

We started off looking at some great shots members sent us for the Show and Tell Show.

The main topic we've talked about was NATURAL LIGHT. We talked about how to make best use of natural light provided by nature.

PLEASE NOTE

Our next meeting is on Monday 10 August, which is the Logan City Showday, so the library will be closed.

So, together with the 11 AM Camera Club we all meet under the Story Bridge at 10 AM for a photo shoot and maybe a bit of lunch at the story Bridge Hotel for those who are interested.

More details of this outing will be here on the blog the weekend before.

First Meeting -Monday 13 July - 1:00pm

Hi Everyone,

Are you ready? On Monday, we'll meet for the first time at the library.

Agenda:

1.
Welcome and Introductions.

2. 
We'll often start with a slide show of Members' photos. Usually we ask members to send us three photos of the subject we discussed at the previous meeting. These photos are then shown on the screen  for discussion. There are no prizes for best and it really is not a competition. It helps everyone to see how other members create photographs. Don't be shy.

As this is our first meeting, we don't know what level we all are. For this, can you please email me three of your best photographs. Either recent or taken some time ago. There is no obligation to send any if you feel a little shy. But we would appreciate to see your pictures before you joined this camera club.

To send them, simply attach them to an email to u3acameraclub@gmail.com before Saturday 11 July.

3.
Main topic for the first meeting will be one of the most important topics in photography, namely,

  COMPOSITION

Or 

HOW TO CREATE STUNNING PICTURES

If ever you decide to improve your photography skills, this is the lesson you don't want to miss.

Diane will show us what methods professional photographers use.

The Rule of Thirds

The S-Curve

Different Angles

Diane will tell us what to do to create photographs that will impress people looking at them.

We are looking forward to meet you all on Monday.
