PHOTOGRAPHY NEW BEGININGS 2011

I want to ta take this time and thank you for taking your time to visiting our blog, please keep on visiting us. Your suggestions and support is highly appreciated. It is the beginning of the year and Ukonwaba photo-club is back to work, thing are looking good and we are having a great start to the New Year 2011.

The group is looking to grow and expand more, new kids have joined the group and we had to start the photography classes from theory for those who were not with us in the previous year and of cause to remind the others that were with us. The kids are really looking forward to start taking photos. However, we could not start taking photos when we do n

ot know about the camera/our equipment and how the camera works. We had to explain the importance of knowing your camera and the use of light.

In the previous week we covered a couple of thing, including the use of light, the design elements of photography. We have also experimented with other mediums of photography such as abstract photography and I was quite happy with what the kids came back with.

The age group we have currently ranges from 8 years to 13 years old, it is clear that we will have to revisit the things we have done over and over again through out the year till we are sure that everyone understands clearly.

I have also uploaded some of the abstract photographs the kids took around the building.

Thank you.
