Our next meeting
May 27 is the date for our next Share Night. Helen has arranged for Robyn Hills to thrill and excite us with Robyn's travels around America by helicopter. Robyn has achieved much in her photographic career and is one of Australia’s highest awarded photographers, previously winning the title of The Australian Professional Photographer of the year. She specialisers in Boudoir, Glamour and Family Portraits. Robyn flies a Helicopter so maybe she is actually flying the chopper around America. We will all find out when Helen introduces us to Robyn.
Gerry will be sending out an invitation to all members on May 20 with the log in time for the meeting on Zoom.
We really hope to see you there.

Colour Theory and Landscape Photography
When it comes to landscape photography, colour has the power to both take a good image to great, or take that same image, and absolutely ruin it. Colour Theory is the technique of combining specific colours in a way that are harmonious, or in other words, just look great together! Colour theory is a technique used primarily in the varying fields of the world of art and design, and plays a major role for creating effective color palettes for those particular fields. The attached 2 links offer a great introduction to colour theory. www.tedgorecreative.com/blog/2016/2/8/imc0w2lc0ie6b1jtixfht4jgqyjvnu www.photocascadia.com/creative-applications-of-color-theory-in-landscape-photography/ |
