Let's hear from you!

Our next Madison Photo Group meeting is a few weeks away. Take a moment and leave a comment about what you are learning as you are striving to take better pictures. What have you tried that worked or didn't work. Have you found a great place to take some shots? Tell us about it! Do you have how or why questions about photography? Go ahead! Ask away....

AND to give you time to think about it - the theme for June-July is architecture.

Yes, it is intentionally broad! If you are interested in a morning or evening trip downtown to take some shots, let me know at the next meeting on June 10.

Leave your responses in a comment.

Photos worth viewing!

I recently came across the Popular Photography magazine website. They have an annual photo contest and you can stretch your imagination by viewing the winners! The site - HERE

First meeting

Our first meeting went well! Don't get bogged down in the details, worrying about uploading or editing. I can help. For this month, just give your attention to taking pictures and having the main subject NOT in the center of your picture. If it helps remind you, when you are composing your picture, remember a tic-tac-toe grid. Try to get your subject in the general area of where the lines cross.

I'm looking forward to seeing your creativity unleashed through your photos! Just let me know if you need help uploading 2-4 best shots.

Finally, if you need a refresher about the lesson, follow the link in the sidebar to Jodie Coston's online class. We looked over lesson one. If it all seems to overwhelm you, here is another site that is easy to follow - HERE!

Oh...one last thing. HAVE FUN!

Welcome

My name is Barry and I'll be leading this group. I'm no expert by any means but together we can learn the ins and outs of good photography.

The vision for the Madison Photo Group is simple - to have fun while learning how to take better pictures! Join us when you can.
