THE PROJECT:
Local artist, Tim Merritt will be leading the group through the basics of photography. Opening discussion: what makes a good photograph? Looking for:
focus, lighting, composition, basics of lighting and exposure, effect on seeing expressions on faces, other details ,focus, depth of field, composition & the rule of thirds, camera angle — more than eye-level: to try low-angle, high-angle, close-up, etc, and when and why to break these “rules”.
We will then practice using smart phones!
