Next week we welcome to Unit13 (via Zoom) and our screens, John Miskelly FRPS, FIPF, HonFBIPP, from Newtownards, in Northern Ireland. John will be presenting his talk, via Zoom, on "fine art photography". This is what John says about his talk:
When I speak to other photographers, most understand light and how to make the most of it. However, a lot of photographers struggle with composition and how to ‘place’ the elements in a scene to provide simplicity, even when viewing seemingly complex scenes.
|
|
As a result, what I aim to achieve with my images is very much determined by how I’ve composed it and how I want the viewer’s eye to view that image.
This talk will therefore be a journey into long exposure landscape photography, looking at the various elements that I use to create my own distinctive style of imagery, my own personal vision.
I’ll share the gestation of an image from the RAW file through to the finished image which I then print on one of the Canson Infinity art papers.

Salon acceptances: Contrary to popular belief, I do not possess psychic powers and need you to tell me if you've had successes. If you want to blow your own trumpet (or someone else's), then this is the place to do it. Please let me know and I'll include details in a future issue.
|
If you have any photographic items
for sale, drop me a line and I'll include it in the next newsletter.
Please make sure that you provide contact details, price and full
description of the sale items (pictures always help).
|
IMPORTANT: Personal Detail Changes |
Please don't forget that if you change your
address (home or email), or gain additional photographic distinctions,
it would be appreciated if you could let the Membership Secretary know
so that she can keep her records up to date, this will also ensure that
you continue to receive your newsletters - please email all changes to membership@bristolphoto.org.uk.
The distinctions we have on record are those
shown at the top of this newsletter, please remember, if you don't tell
us we can't possibly know!
