November Camera Club Meeting Notes

Leave a reply

The November meeting saw the return of speaker Andrew James.

Andrew has many years experience as a photojournalist and is now branching out into his own business.

He showed a tremendous variety of his photographs which were discussed with the theme of Composition.

He gave us a photographers eye view, breaking down each one into the elements which had “worked”.

There were many questions from the floor and we extended our usual two hours!

All interests and individual queries were covered and we finished the evening with Andrew looking over our own pictures of “Natural Patterns” and giving us pointers on what had worked and what we could do to add impact.
