For this club lecture, we will be joining Kempston Photographic club who are hosting Jonathan Vaines with his talk entitled ‘Compose Yourself’.
Jonathan says:-
This is in introduction to what many people find a “black Art”. We all know we have to compose our images but what is composition? This talk introduces you to the basic of composition and some more complex ways of structuring a photograph. The PowerPoint presented talk is supported by 35 high quality prints. All images are taken by either myself or my wife. The range of images span successful club images through to International medal and award winners.

Daniel Bridges Top Ten Tips
2024-01-31 20:00 - 22:00 | The Swan Inn & Bistro, 12 High Street, Olney, MK46 4AA, United Kingdom
For our first formal talk of 2024 we’ve gone back to basics. Daniel Bridges is a professional photography tutor, who has been running workshops and talks since 2003.
This talk runs through a variety of tips designed to improve anyone’s photography whatever your level. Covering some basic technical information, through composition and subjects, it should give us plenty to think about and take away through the coming year.
Daniel came and gave a talk on his top ten tips to the Limebrook U3A photography group. All members commented on how interesting and helpful the tips were and how it has inspired them to try some new techniques in the future.
The talk will be presented via Zoom. This means you can watch from the comfort of your sofa, or alternatively, join us in The Drinkery at the Swan, where we will use the power of technology to enjoy a zoom talk in a social situation.
