Saturday 03 May
Hockley, Livery street - 10:30am - 2 Hours
Birmingham Photography Group
Martin Tierney
The Zoom lens is one of the most versatile tools in a photographer's arsenal. A zoom lens is a system of camera lens elements for which the focal length can be varied, as opposed to a fixed-focal-length lens. A true zoom lens or optical zoom lens is a type of parfocal lens, one that maintains focus when its focal length changes.
From every day to amateur to professional, zoom lenses are built to get you closer quickly without having to adjust your position. There are zoom lenses for every use and skill level. From sports, wildlife, and portraits. A zoom lens allows you to adjust the focal length of the lens within a specific range. In other words, you can change the angle of view and make it narrower (zoom in) or wider (zoom out).

Light and shadow photography is a type of photography that focuses on capturing the interplay between light and shadow in a particular scene. This style of photography often produces dramatic and compelling images that can evoke strong emotions in the viewer.

Harsh light and the contrast between light and shadow can provide some interesting photo
opportunities, as well as some challenges!

Bokeh and Backlighting.

Saturday 17 May
Russell Rd, Moseley, Birmingham - 10am - 2 Hours
Birmingham Photography Group
Martin Tierney
We will be using various techniques to maximise the behaviour of the light. Backlighting is one of my favourites and can be used for portraiture or nature. Bokeh is Japanese for blur but is a term used for soft out of focus balls of light which can look very pleasing. Burst in this case is star burst which can be achieved when you have strong areas of light and a correct choice of aperture. Use all three to create some amazing compositions.

Street art is a unique and colorful art form and can be found in all kinds of nooks and crannies in cities all over the world. Capturing art in the streets in photographs can be tricky because these urban art pieces are in public spaces, that are busy and usually filled with a decent amount of traffic. Sometimes you include the people and sometimes, you get super heros!!!

    It was a brilliant session. Alicia is a fantastic teacher, very patient, calm and friendly! Even after repeatedly explaining some steps. The location was very cosy and the others on the group were friendly too. I went from never crocheting to now being able to double and treble crotchet. I am more confident in the craft.

    Great intro to crocheting, which started really from the basics which I definitely appreciated as someone that hasn't even attempted to crochet before, very patient and kind teacher and I loved that we could keep yarn and needle afterwards to continue practicing. I am really impressed as I can be quite impatient with learning new skills such as this, but I was super surprised that I ended the class knowing a lot more than I expected to through the patience of Alicia! I didn't know how to even hold the needle and ended the class being able to do a single stitch, double crochet and started to learn triple. I didn't get as far as starting a granny square but perhaps if the group was smaller, I could have had more 1-1 help from the teacher and progressed a little faster - this is my only criticism of the class but I still enjoyed it overall and would give it 4/5 stars. Also, the location was great in the coffee shop, and loved having a coffee half way through - thank you, this is a great club and I hope to continue attending future classes after practicing at home.
