Composition in the Park

Composition in the Park

Saturday 12 July
S College Road - 10am - 2 Hours
Mallory Stanford
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 signed up for the Lafayette Photo Group Nature Photography workshop, showed up on the date I THOUGHT the event was to be held and realized I was a week early. So I took the time to take a walk through the woods and shoot images anyway. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the class today (the correct date) because I'm home with covid.

    Hello, my name is Gabriel I am a storm chaser from Lafayette, LA. Recently, my storm chasing friends and I went out to the great plains to try to capture photos of tornadoes and we ended up succeeding. We noticed a storm late in the day that had unimpeded inflow and we agreed, as a group, that this storm had the potential to produce a tornado. We kept monitoring our radar, watching the velocity signature increase until eventually we saw dust being kicked up and rising under a wall cloud. Just li

    Just watching getting ready to shoot wild birds I noticed Comarants and Pelicans were fighting over fish. Well this Cormorant snuck this catfish out and flew almost out of my range. This was a lucky shot with the 800 mm lens as a nature photographer you gotta be ready for anything.

    I've made multiple attempts at this picture trying to make something suitable for a wall art panoramic. My first few chances it did not have enough pixels. So when I was lucky enough to go for work I walked the 3 miles to try it again. I was fortunate to have the sun break through and create two different rainbows and a fantastic scene for all. I sat there for 2 hours hours capturing the same image in different phases of the evening and this is my favorite as it highlights the red, white and

    A family of chipmunks has found my backyard bird feeders to be an easily accessible source of tasty food. They eat relatively small amounts, leaving plenty for the birds.
