Digital Photography [Creating Great Images]

Schedule

Mon Jun 13 2022 at 06:00 pm to 08:30 pm

Location

Barnes & Noble (Glastonbury, CT) | Glastonbury, CT

What makes one image good and another image less-than-good certainly is not based on any universal truths. Instead, I think a person’s reaction to an image is intensely personal. There are no right or wrong reasons for liking or not liking a picture.
That being said, there do seem to be certain rules of composition that, when applied by those taking photographs, produce images many people find more appealing than if those rules had not been applied. This seminar will explore the complex and often contentious topic of photographic composition.
I will be presenting specific rules of composition using images from my portfolio as well as images taken by other professional photographers. We will be discussing composition as it relates to portraiture, nature, travel, still objects, documentary, abstract, AND the truly personal photograph.
Finally, and most importantly, we will be viewing each other’s pictures, discussing what works and what does not. Please don’t be shy about showing them. Sharing your images and receiving feedback is an ideal way to perfect your photography. You will leave the seminar with much useful feedback, including suggestions for greatly improving your future photographs.
So - -
Select a few JPG photographs that you'd be willing to show the class, and save them to a flash drive. Please include both the good photos as well as the problematic ones.
This seminar is paired with two other Meetup seminars I’m teaching, each also a single three-hour session:
Digital Photography [The Basics]
Digital Photography [Understanding Your Camera]
To receive a sound fundamental understanding of digital photography, I strongly recommend completing all three seminars. When I teach for various art centers, community colleges, and local towns, these are the three areas I include in my Beginning Digital Photography course, which runs for a total of 9 - 12 hours over a period of 3 - 4 weeks.
These three specific seminars will be repeated at later dates. Therefore, if you cannot make one, you can take it at another time. ALSO, THE SEMINARS CAN BE TAKEN IN ANY ORDER. And no prerequisites are required.
Please note that no refunds are allowed unless the seminar is canceled. Also, switching from one seminar to another is not allowed. I need to know the exact number of attendees in a seminar to determine whether or not I can afford to run it.
We will be meeting in the café at the Glastonbury Barnes & Noble Bookstore. You’ll recognize my table by the portable monitor or two attached to the laptop computer. Should you need to contact me, my cell phone number is 860-712-7098.
Hope to see you there!!
