We gathered for our second meeting at Parkside Academy and welcomed three new members.\u00a0 We lost one member (in the nicest possible way) as he was moving to around Manchester with his job and we wish him well with that.<\/p>\n

We had our usual look at images from the monthly challenge which was to capture Autumn.\u00a0 We had some really good images to view and you can see them below.<\/p>\n

For the rest of the evening we reviewed how we can go about getting a composition in our images.\u00a0 We looked at the ‘Rule of Thirds’, using lead-in lines, seeing triangles within the image, framing and reflections.\u00a0 This is one of the foundations of good photography and matters little whether you use a phone camera or the latest, top-end digital SLR.\u00a0 Of course, the beauty and balance within an image is very much down to the individual and often these guidelines are broken and it is often then that stunning images are created.\u00a0 However, knowing these guidelines and practicing them can help us to know when they should be broken.<\/p>\n

We have said that the Willington Photography Club is for anyone who enjoys taking images regardless of the camera.\u00a0 To that end, one of our members took his Autumn challenge using his mobile phone and the images below are what he got.\u00a0 Granted the shot of the leaf was edited to give it the feeling of movement, but it shows that pleasing images can be captured even on a phone.<\/p>\n

The phone image of the leaf provided a second use.\u00a0 Using fully automatic settings can result in images that aren’t quite properly exposed.\u00a0 The leaf is lying on the ground which should be very dark, almost black in fact.\u00a0 Here, straight out of the phone, it looks quite grey.\u00a0 The reason being that historically (and currently as far as we are aware) film and sensors use an 18% grey standard.\u00a0 Therefore, anything that is black it will over-expose to try to reach the 18% grey, and images with lots of white will under-expose.<\/p>\n

Our challenge for the November meeting is to capture something to show late Autumn, which will include Halloween and bonfire night.\u00a0 Fireworks provide their own challenge when trying to capture them, but more on that next month.<\/p>\n

Please let us know what you think or if you want to know more.\u00a0 Why not come along and join us and share our passion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
