“There is no better time to crop a bad composition than just before you press the shutter release.” Bryan Peterson Today was an "open session" with images presented by Kevin, Richard & Bill Kevin showed a series of images he shot on a recent trip into the natural world. The discussion centered on composition in taking pictures in nature where you have to take into consideration the inherent chaos of nature. Below are several examples from his series. Below are two further example of Kevin's series where placing the horizon is a compositional judgement in framing the image Richard showed several pictures from his travels...one is below Bill showed two "abstracts" taken recently at Bergemot Station. These were reflections on the floor of the gallery as the staff was hanging an exhibit by Jimi Gleason. The artist's images reflected on the black gallery floor and turned out to be the images below. They're entitled "Reflections on Jimi Gleason" They did prompt another discussion on "appropriation." Finally, Bill discussed the issue of re-exploring and mining your collection of images to find new series of older images The two examples below are looking for color to B&W conversion; the second is exploring removing color(s) to produce new and unexpected effects....also putting new borders on your images
