Tuesday Night Sessions (Workshop Topic: Composition)

Tuesday Night Sessions are new to the APG Schedule for 2022. We understand that lots of you are unable to make weekday events due to work commitments so we have heard you and now have Tuesday Night Sessions permanently on the calendar this year.

These sessions will be primarily led by Paulo Viegas but with support from other leading members of the group when and where necessary, depending on the discussion/ workshop being done. Topics will be created based on Feedback from members and also related to upcoming Exhibition/challenge themes so that members can gain valuable insight into technical, creative and efficient ways to create the image they want to produce.

This evening will be spent covering “Composition” and factors that one has to take into consideration before you actually take your photograph.

These will include:

• the rule of thirds
• guiding lines
• reflections
• symmetry
• decluttering of the photo (less is more)
• diagonals
• balancing subjects
• foreground, middle ground and background
• selective focus and bokeh

Provided there is still time available, some practical tips and advice will be discussed and shared with regards to the two upcoming events namely, the online challenge – “I ate this” and the March Exhibition – titled “Curves”.

We look forward to seeing you there.

All members are welcome to come on over and join in. The more, the better. Remember that the objective of these sessions is to enable you to improve your skills as a photographer whatever your level may be.
