PhotoClub Focus

A Happy New Year to all photographers.

 

Monet Exhibition at the Courtauld Institute of Art

 

I recently visited the Courtauld Institute of Art to see the Monet exhibition which was wonderful. It really emphasised how much photographers have in common with artists. Monet’s fascination with light, mist or smog was used to create his set of atmospheric views of the Thames around London Bridge.

 

We, as, photographers are always looking for ways to use the elements of weather to help us create our images. I also thought it is not only a place to see amazing works of art but the building itself has so many possibilities for us and our cameras.

We have been blessed with wonderful weather, albeit a little on the chilly side to capture the morning mists and rime covered trees recently.
