March meeting and photo challenge...

March's program will be a presentation by Randy Simmons and Todd Birdsong. Randy and Todd will teach us how to critique our own work and the work of others. They will also cover the basics of composition. Everyone who wishes to have their images critiqued by Todd and Randy needs to upload 2 images to the club flickr site. If you do not have a flickr account, you can email the images to me directly and I will forward them to Todd and Randy. Todd and Randy will not know who's image is whose...your name will not appear with the photograph, so the critique will be anonymous.

The photo challenge is Architectural Details. Time frame: Past 30 days
Mission: Look closely at some details in the architecture around you either in your city/town or rural location. Perhaps take a road trip to an area that is filled with decaying architecture. How can you make the detailing in the photograph interesting? shoot from an unusual angel? What about lighting? Side lighting usually works well in creating interesting shadows and highlighting details. What can you do to make the shapes work in your composition? Are there patterns which might make it a good abstract? Can you change the depth of field to bring interest to the subject?
