The Composition Class will elevate your images.

Don’t miss the chance to elevate your photography. The Composition class takes an in-depth look at each of the 5 basic elements by devoting a week to each of them. Depth-of-Field, Patterns, Lines, Texture and Symmetry are all important components of any image. Learn how to spot them in a natural setting, then selecting the appropriate ones to enhance the interest level of your picture. Each week brings challenges and happiness that you won’t want to miss.

Composition in Landscape Photography, January 7 – February 11 (5 Mondays), 9-12 noon

The Composition Class will elevate your images.

18mm, f8 @ 1/30, no filter

18mm, f8 @ 1/80 with 3-stop ND Grad

I received a 3-stop, soft-edge ND grad filter from the Camera Clubhouse cats. They decided to purchase from Breakthrough Photography since I mentioned that one of my students brought Breakthrough Filters to a recent class and, on inspection, the filters seemed to be very well made. An ND Grad filter starts dark and fades to clear so the placement of the dark portion is determined by both the bright part of the scene and the photographer. This filter made quite a difference in holding down the sun in the upper part of the image. Check out the “no-filter” image and ND Grad image. The difference will amaze you. Please note: I have no affiliation with Breakthrough Photography and chose them only based on student referral.

Several places open in the Composition Class!
