Members periodically select specific subjects or themes for their photographs. The current theme is "The Outdoors at Night.” This means you must take a photograph outside after dark.  Think about lighting, any features you think might look good in a photo and how to photograph them. Keep an eye on your exposure to avoid blown highlights. Also beware of camera shake/movement with slower shutter speeds. As always, experiment and have fun. The group selected 1 photo from each participant to be posted here. The following photos, taken and selected by members, exemplify that theme.

Members periodically select specific subjects or themes for their photographs. The current theme is "Get Close.” Try to take a photograph of your subject at very close range. This can be a macro photo designed to reveal intricate details not visible to the naked eye. Or it can be simply something you can focus on as close as possible. The key is to maintain sharp focus at very close range. Test the focus limits of your lens. Phone cameras can focus at close range.  The group selected 1 photo from each participant to be posted here. The following photos, taken and selected by members, exemplify that theme.

Members periodically select specific subjects or themes for their photographs. The current theme is "Architectural Details.” The goal of this theme is to focus on specific elements or small details of a larger structure. Architectural features and details play several roles in defining the character of a structure: they add visual interest, define certain building styles and types, and often showcase superior craftsmanship and architectural design. Look for a small piece of the whole that has the power to characterize and define the building or its style. Try to be creative and think of angles, perspective and lighting. The chosen elements do not have to be the subject of the photo but must be identifiable in the photo.  The following photos, taken and selected by members, exemplify that theme.
