Abstract Photography

Abstract Photography

Sunday 25 May
Queens Rd, Brighton and Hove, Brighton - 10am - 2 Hours
Brighton Photography Group
Tobias Slater-Hunt
This meet up will explore the world of abstract photography. We will focus, NOT on the subject of photographs but on how we can construct images using line, shape, form, light, contrast, texture and colour.
We will explore how different camera settings, such as shallow depth of field, can help with abstraction, compositions that lend themselves to abstraction as well as the potential of motion blur and focal lengths too.
This is a fun and creative meet up where you learn some vital skills that you will be able to apply to your everyday photography to take your images to the next level.

    Title or Location: Coventry Cathedral Priory and Undercroft
    Coventry Cathedral itself was destroyed in a firestorm after being bombed durint WWII. Amazingly though, this medieval and tuodor structure survived despite its very close proximity.I was there on a dull and cold day, typical British summer. The sjies were flat and gray, so no features there. So I tiik it to mind to convert a coolour image to monochrome in Photoshop, having rpocessed it fairly basically in Lightroom first.Not all images work in monochrome but I thought this would.Thank You
