Itinerary:

This event is geared towards those members that wish to create better photographs If you have ever encountered a subject, raised your camer to your eye, pushed the shutter button and later (moments or hours) viewed the result and felt disapointed, or said to yourself "that's not what I saw" then this event may answer some or all of your questions. We will explore some of the basic elements of composition, what creates the "WOW factor" and if time allows examin a few of the participants photographs as a group, offering suggestions regarding better composition by cropping employing the knowlege we aquired this evening.
