People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

Nature Photography Meetup

Nature Photography Meetup

Saturday 14 June
Northeastern corner of Lafayette - 10:54am - 2 Hours
Lafayette Photography Group
Mallory Stanford
Join this session for tips on how to use your camera settings to creatively capture nature in a visually interesting way. We will be looking at composition, focus, and colour.

Many professional offices and places of business have large prints gracing their wall space of things such as fields of flowers, a butterfly perched on a leaf, and a single dew drop on a rose petal. These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

Come and join us as we explore composition in photography.

Composition is one of the most critical element in photography. Composition is how a photographer arranges the visual elements within their image, frame. I promise you that if you search for information on composition you will find plenty You will find formal rules, opinion, some of which you can trace back to historical art movements and painters.

Even in the digital world, composition remains the key to creating strong images. Composition is what guides our eye through an image and gives importance to the subject. It creates the story for the viewer and how we as photographers convey that message.

This meetup will explore composition using our frame and tools available to us as the photographer.

REVIEWS
Courtney was an amazing instructor. She was beyond patient with us and answered all of our questions (more than once). The sheet she brought to introduce us to the techniques of watercolor were very helpful. She gave knowledgeable tips and tricks throughout, and was so generous with her time.

I enjoyed the class very much and Courtney was a great teacher. She was extremely helpful in explaining different techniques and the results we could achieve by using different brushes, the colors and the application of how much water we use. I feel I learned enough to want to keep taking more classes.

I sketched this particular photo on a plane from Charlotte to Houston, the second of two 5x7 paintings of the Wicked Witch of the West. The stewardess kindly monitored my art and was a huge fan of the movie and what I was doing. This painting is one of a 6 piece theme now completed that will hang in my office. The movie is iconic to many and I wanted to capture key scenes from the movie in watercolor but with this particular one, I just sketched what I would have the witch look like if I wer

This is a fantasy landscape inspired by old world charm. I gave it the title because of the little grouping near the center of interest looks like a medieval camp when you zoom in on it.
