February Mini Contest

Patty Chimene's image "Pecan Creek Reflections" won the February Mini Contest.

Photograph by Patty Chimene

Hard horizontal lines formed by a creek bank, water , and sky can often lead to a very bland image. I think it is fair to say we have all collected a few frames to prove this point.

This same combination works well in this case. Why?

Patty has successfully used the bare trees to repeatedly draw the eye back an forth across the bank. It seems that there are endless paths to follow, but they all lead back the center of the photograph.

This flow is enhanced by color and contrast. The dry grass, sky, water, and trees stand out from each other in colors that are naturally pleasing to the eye. The combination creates an image that is interesting and relaxing to look at.

Thanks Patty!

February Meeting

Use Design Principles To Create Striking Photos.

Member Sue Wheatley demonstrated how design principles can be used to create striking photographs. Application of these principles provide a means to improve the image through deliberate placement of the subject and background.

Many thanks to Sue for a great presentation!

Photography 101 Workshop

Photograph by Keith Wyatt

Pam Moore was greeted to a full class room this February. Members were eager to learn how to gain control of their camera from the MCP.

Thanks Pam!
