Stopping In for a Chat with the U3A Photography Group

5/1/2013

A little while ago, I stopped in for a chat with the University of the Third Age (U3A) Photography Group.  U3A groups  offer a range of lively and stimulating activities for members in their ‘third age’ – the age of retirement. 

One of the topics discussed was how to make a photo stand out, what catches the eye; e.g. Colour, contrast, lighting, subject, evoking an emotional reaction, and how a photographer does something that's breaking the composition rules, something quirky about the way the photo is taken.  So I left them with a challenge: to do a photo session where you never hold the camera straight on, they had to tilt the camera somehow for every shot.

Yesterday I got a lovely package in my mailbox of all their photos.

These are my favourite.
Picture
Photographer: Chris. I thought the angle of this really catches the eye, more so than if it had been vertical.
Picture
Photographer: Diane. The angle looks great.
Picture
Photographer: Eric. love the angle, the broken into frames and the mirrored warping in this photo.
Picture
Photographer: Ursula. The angle here make the angel looks like it's flying!
Picture
Photographer: Colleen. Love the angle, colour and shadows on this photo.
Picture
Photographer: Colleen. Like the simplicity of this photo, making the object stand out.
Picture
Photographer: Lesley. I think the tilted angle of this photo really works well with the sense of going around the corner.
Picture
Photographer: Diane. I like the interest this tilting creates; the breaking the photo into two (a plain wood side and a busy people side),on an angle across the frame.
Picture
Photographer: Steve Jones. I think the camera angle done of this photo certainly catches the eye.
I had a lovely time.  Thanks U3a Rotorua Camera Group for showing me your photos!\
