Photography is about much more than the technical, and we spend some of our time hearing about and discussing topics such as famous photographers of the past, photo-journalism and various artistic approaches involving photography, as well as sharing images from the web and other media that have inspired us individually, whilst trying to analyse how photographers achieve great images.
We aim to cater for people at all levels of experience and expertise, using widely different cameras from smart phone, through point-and-shoot, to mirrorless and Digital SLR. We want to be a source of encouragement in your own learning journey about your cameras, photography technique, composition and the editing and processing skills that can transform your photos - and we will try and provide several different ways this can be done but we do not obsess about tech.
Sharing and discussing our own photos is an important activity of the Group. To give structure to this, we will often choose photographic themes for voluntary assignments, some of which may help us to learn about things like composition, depth of field, and lighting, among others, to improve our shooting skills.
Members of other U3A groups, which are sometimes dependent on photography, (e.g. Travel, Bird, Bees & Trees, and others) will be welcome to join us for appropriate sessions. Also as individuals, keep an eye out for any themes that interest you and do come along !
We urge everyone interested in improving their photography and in viewing and discussing photographic images of all kinds to come along and try us out and see if the Photography Group can stimulate your interest in many different topics as well as having a good laugh and learning. If you have not been before and plan to come, please send an email to Kris Frank, the Convenor (see Newsletter for contact details).
