November Workshop - Santa Clause Parade Workshop
A visit to a Santa Clause Parade offers much more photographic opportunities than just the floats that meander by you. What about the people, the Christmas decorations, the performers?
But getting that great shot is often not as easy as it first seems. The crowd gets in the way, the angle is not right. We will teach you how to attend a parade and walk away with well composed photos that you will be proud of.
Date: Yet to be determined.
On our Creative Composition workshop you will learn how to develop your photographic eye and start to create great photos rather than just taking snaps.
The workshop is aimed at beginners who are new to their camera – whether a compact or DSLR – and who are looking for a gentle introduction into photography.
The Creative Composition workshop will be of use if you are looking to create images that are pleasing to the eye and create visual stories that are interesting.
Your workshop will begin with a discussion on what makes "Good Composition".
- Orientation and the rule of thirds
- Leading lines, curves and S-bends
- Framing and filling the frame
- Perspective and depth of field
- Colour and shapes
All these compositional terms will be explained using a range of professional images.
After our discussion we will be putting the theory into practice.
As the workshop moves outside, 1:1 time is available with the Workshop Leader(s) to help you apply such principles to your own photos. It finishes back indoors with a review of your photos over coffee; a powerful opportunity to understand how others see and capture scenes.
The practical discussion will take place at a predetermined location where we can sit as a group and have a discussion without interruption.
Although this workshop can be completed at any time, it is well suited to being taken at the beginning of your photography journey.
Our workshops run from two (2) to three (3) hours and the timing has been listed above in the Composition Workshop schedule.
How It Works
You arrive at the workshop at the predetermined time. You are responsible for getting yourself to and from the workshop.
Once you register you will receive directions to the studio. To register please visit http://www.photographers-lounge.com/workshops/composition-workshops/
Who Should Attend
The photographer that will get the most out of one of these workshops is someone that has a camera and wants to learn how to take better photos with the gear they have.
