The Group met on 18th August at 10:15 – the theme was ‘Weather’. This proved a difficult subject because recent weather had been hot and cloudless. Nevertheless Anjie Sargeant’s ‘Menacing Storm’ was voted overall best picture amongst several notable interpretations of the theme.
Menacing Storm – Anjie Sargeant
September’s theme will be ‘Landscape’. Apart from land photos, this has been expanded to include river, city, and seascapes. John Hawke outlined various techniques to make the photos ‘pop’ emphasising ways to bring the viewers’ eyes to a point of interest within the picture – these included ‘Rule of Thirds’, leading lines and depth of field enhancement.
