Get Active With a Camera-Well Image-Wednesday evening sessions
Event Information
About this event
Get Active with a Camera (or phone).
Online photography meet up in six sessions on Wednesday evenings commencing 29th September.
Get together in a small group online with active tasks to encourage you to get out and about between sessions.
All that is required is a keen interest in photography, any camera or phone and a desire to get a bit more active.
The session will be hosted by Vanessa Miles, a Devon based professional photographer and director of Well Image.
- First session of six commencing Wednesday 29th September 2021
- 18.30-20.00 am and every week at the same time up to and including 3rd November.
We will be discussing what makes a good picture and exploring a few rules of good composition and when it's best to break these! Also, how to 'see' good natural lighting for a photograph and how best to utilise this. A task will be set to put some of this knowledge into practice in your daily walks (whatever length). It is important you get in the habit of walking anywhere that is accessible to you and it doesn't matter where. You will be expected to upload the photos by wetransfer.com or email them to Vanessa by noon, the day before each session.
Vanessa will be displaying these images to the group to see how you have all got on. Much of the fun is to see how others have interpreted the 'brief'. and to hear their experiences. We welcome positive feedback and encouragement whatever the level of photography. It is hoped that people have take on inspiration from each session and will see the world in whole new light! This will be a fun, informal group for those who may not of participated in something like this before and want to dip their toe in the water!
Limited number of places available so please secure your ticket soon.
Any queries, email me here.
Looking forward to meeting you.
Vanessa
Testimonial:
'Firstly, I’d like to take the opportunity to thank you for allowing me to join the Devon Naturally Healthy photo group sessions.
It has been an opportunity for me to touch down with others, get out and about with my camera come muddy boots, rain or shine !! Especially during these unforeseen times we are all going through.
The sessions have definitely inspired me, not only with my camera but also with Zoom technology skills!
I have appreciated all your hard work in planning this photography course, and have thoroughly enjoyed the small friendly group.
With all your knowledge, skills and tips on photography, I have come away feeling inspired to get out snapping with the camera exploring nature at its best.
Thank you once again.
Yours. Colleen’
