Our first meeting of the new season is on the 8th October. Entries for this assignment are now closed.
The subject for our May assignment is Metals and Alloys. Mick Day announced this assignment at our March meeting. It will be reviewed at our May meeting.
•The challenge is to experiment with photos that showcase the qualities and characteristics of metal.
•Look for textures eg; smooth engineered metal, rusty old metal, drilled metal, welds, coins, etc
•Look for uses eg; structural, ornamental, industrial, tools etc
•Try different angles and lighting (eg; flash, soft lighting, hard lighting etc) look for reflections, textures, lustre and sheen, macro might be an option
•Consider depth of field
See our March Notices in the signed in area for some examples.
