ML54-EXT Taking Interesting Photos

This class is designed for those who want to learn how to take more interesting pictures of their family and friends as well as their travels and memories. This class will not require any special equipment or exotic locations. It is aimed at the person who uses a point-and-shoot camera or a smartphone, and wants to learn how to get more interesting pictures. The presentation will uncover basic techniques and principles of good composition. One goal is to develop a photo-eye to be able to “see” the end result and to take note of dangers to avoid. In this class we will learn about the four elements that help you produce a masterpiece rather than an ordinary snapshot. I call these the ABCs of fine photos. The best picture shows a single and simple idea; this supports the slogan that less is more.
