GLPA offers a fall photo course for beginning members to help get them to understand the fundamentals of using your digital camera and producing better images. This course is designed for those photographers who understand the basics and have the desire to become a better photographer.
The course has been cancelled for the 2017-2018 season. Ken Carlson will lead a four-session course to be held on Wednesdays, January 31, February 7, 14 and 21, 2018 covering visual design and composition and designed to help you become a better photographer. The sessions will be primarily lecture and demonstration images. Each class will end with a homework assignment for attendees to practice to covered topics. Classes 2-4 will include discussion of participants’ homework images. If weather permits we’ll include a field trip led by Ken Jordan, MNEC for participants to practice in the field together. Topics will include:
- Importance of the subject or story
- Introduction to visual design and elements
- Primary elements of design (Tone and Tonal and Color and Color Contrasts)
- Leading the viewer through your photograph
- Importance of the elements of design
- Secondary elements of design (Line, Shape of Form, Texture, Pattern and Perspective)
- Properties of visual design (Positive and Negative Space, Visual Weight, Tension and Balance)
The course is open to GLPA members only and has a limit of 15 participants on a first come first serve basis with payment of $35 to GLPA to offset costs of keeping the club open on these additional evenings. Instructor is an unpaid volunteer. Registrations will be accepted until the course is full (see instructions below).
