SHOOT AND DEBRIEF MEETING – August 29 , 6:30 – 7:30 PM ONLINE

If using Lightroom use Export / Imaging Sizing / Resize to Fit and enter 2800 pixels for landscape images or 1800 pixels for portrait images. Enter a resolution of 72 pixels per inch to get the recommended number of pixels.

  • Rename your image files: first and last name, #1 for first priority, #2 for second priority and #3 for third priority and Image Title, as in this example John Smith 1 Downtown Cincinnati.jpg

Upload up to three images for discussion by Tuesday, August 27 , at the OVCC SmugMug Web-Site (NOT HERE ON this MEETUP SITE!! )

PRESENTER: ERIC HATCH

PRESENTATION: REAL WORLD COMPOSITION. A Course for Practicing Photographers.

All photographs consist of objects (stuff) and spaces. Composition is how you organize the “stuff” in your pictures to tell the story you want to tell and exclude unwanted “stuff.” The Composition Course gives you a lightning tour of some basic art principles, then demonstrates how to apply those to organizing the “stuff” in your frame. For example perspective, cropping to include, cropping to exclude, use of leading lines, avoiding bullseye composition, relying on diagonals, curves, repetition, foreshortening, perspective, use of negative space — you can do all these in camera, no Lightroom needed (though it can help after the fact). You will see how basic compositional techniques add power, story-telling, excitement and zing to your photographs. We will cover a lot of ground very quickly, so fasten your seat-belts.

BREAK

COMPETITION-CRITIQUE: – COMPOSITION – apply your knowledge of composition guidelines.
