Composition at the Park: Master the Art of Balance

Saturday 22 February
Maidu - 10am - 2 Hours
Eric Vinluan
Come and join us as we explore composition in photography.

Composition is one of the most critical element in photography. Composition is how a photographer arranges the visual elements within their image, frame. I promise you that if you search for information on composition you will find plenty You will find formal rules, opinion, some of which you can trace back to historical art movements and painters.

Even in the digital world, composition remains the key to creating strong images. Composition is what guides our eye through an image and gives importance to the subject. It creates the story for the viewer and how we as photographers convey that message.

This meetup will explore composition using our frame and tools available to us as the photographer.

I had been monitoring the weather all day, hoping for a break in the relentless rain that had been saturating the skies.Hours passed, and the clouds showed no sign of retreat. I stood at this spot, camera ready, as the rain began to lighten but still no sun in sight. Just when I was about to pack up and call it a day, a

    The night was calm yet filled with the promise of celebration. I stood on the shore, camera in hand, as the city glowed across the water like a jewel in the darkness. It was New Year?s Eve, and the anticipation in the air was electric. Families and friends gathered nearby, their laughter and chatter blending with the faint hum of the cityscape before me. My goal was clear: to capture the fireworks that would soon paint the sky in vivid bursts of color.The minutes ticked by, and as I waited,

    On New Year?s Eve, I found myself in San Francisco, drawn to the beauty of the city?s skyline as the day slipped into night waiting for Fireworks. Standing at the water?s edge, I watched as the Bay Bridge stretched gracefully to the left, while the city?s lights began to shimmer against the deep blues and purples of the fading sky. It was a quiet, reflective moment amidst the energy of a city ready to welcome the new year. For me, it was about capturing the stillness, the light, and the promise
