PhotoClub Focus

It seems we are back to the grey skies again after some beautiful sunshine which has encouraged the gardens, parks and woodlands to start showing their spring colours and photographers to go out with their cameras.

 

The PhotoClub this term has been exploring photography rules to help improve the composition of pictures. The class will be visiting Coal Drop Yard at Kings Cross to put the theory into practice this week.

 

This Saturday, PhotoClub welcomes Adrian Beasley on a return visit to run an Adobe Lightroom Workshop. One or two places are still available – for more information please contact Sarah Smith smithgarden@icloud.com

PhotoClub is looking forward to a social walk with our cameras along the South Bank on Wednesday 19th March:

 

London Southbank

Wednesday 19th March
Meet at 2pm outside Westminster Tube Station
Afternoon tea 4.30pm at the National Theatre

 

We will take a stroll across Westminster Bridge stopping to capture scenic views of the river together with the amazing architecture of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Once over the bridge, our walk will take us towards the iconic London Eye and along the Southbank until we reach the National Theatre where we will enjoy our well-deserved afternoon tea.

 

This walk is free of charge and open to all Club Members, but will not be led by a guide or tutor.
Suitable for cameras or smartphones.
