Capturing images is only half the work, and far too often we neglect to work on our editing and post processing skills to the same degree as we work on our skills with the camera. This class aims to give you the skills and knowledge to feel confident in photo editing software to create final images that are ready to be printed and displayed or shared on socials.We'll be going over how to import images, what is a preset, the function of the basic panels within Lightroom, how to edit lighting, colour, cropping and levelling, and more advanced techniques like dodging and burning, masking, and most importantly, how to export and save your edited images.I'll send out some test images so we can edit them together, if you have your own images you'd like to ask about please feel free, as always there will be time for questions throughout.

People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.If you have any difficulties or new to street photography, please don't be afraid to ask questions.

Walk & Shoot - Primes

Sunday 21 September
Rutland / Oakham - 10am - 2 Hours
Leicester Photography Group
Anthony Tanton
A more relaxed meetup style class, with plenty of time to go over any questions you have about photography in general.

We'll be looking at how to shoot with intention and grow out skills in all areas. We'll be discussing portraiture, landscape, architectural, macro, and any other genres that come up - we're limited by location of what we can shoot in practice.

The theme is fixed focal length - you don't need to stick to that, but if you want a theme for the class, it's primes! Zooming with your feet, and forcing yourself to stick to a focal length - you can always change lenses too!

Bring along your cameras, a coffee, and something to ask about!

I'm new-ish to exploring drawing and painting as a way of enriching my retirement, some 50 years after giving up art at school as it wasn't possible to combine it with other subjects I was instructed to do. I now recognise that my life, and my heart need the relaxation, the focus, the inspiration and the sense of achievement that painting brings. This drawing is of my fiance - it's not just a passion for art that I've found in my golder years! It made sense to me to draw a face that I love as my

I like to draw and paint people's faces and try to capture a moment of their expression. In this case, I practice a portrait sketch using 2H, HB, and 2B graphite pencils on an A5 rough sketchbook.

I spent the summer of 2024 developing this art form. I am free-forming epoxy resin and fusing. This allows me to layer and make 3D sculptures and relief from a medium not typically suited for this purpose. At this time, I have not found anyone else who has done this with epoxy resin. It appears to be glass, but it's not.Artist Statement:Virginia Alden's artistry is a vibrant synthesis of nature and craftsmanship, where each piece is meticulously hand-formed or painted from epoxy resin.

I?m passionate about the ocean and lived on it a majority of my life. I would even take my children to observe sea life, in several locations on the coast..Tide pools being one of my favorite! We could observe anemones, sea slugs, starfish and more. Years ago I applied to a school in their Marine Sciences program. I wasn?t accepted because I was a woman!Yeah and that dates me a little. The passion will never die.

In 2018, I had a stroke and forgot how to paint in watercolor. Recently I?ve been taking a few classes and reading a lot of how to books. The passing of my niece?s beloved pet, triggered me to try a realistic subject. She loves my painting and I think I did good.
