Introduction to Black and White Photography. What makes a good Black and White shot?

We will look at the contrast and using textures. How does the camera see the image and how do we create Black and White images in a camera or in post-production. We will look for some good examples and set some exercises.

This is a more advanced course and assumes you understand the basics of photography and controlling your camera.

People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

As an artist and lover of nature , I revel and connect with each season for the magic it brings . Winter is no exception. The way Mother Nature transforms a landscape blanketing it in white snow . The icy Breath that escapes our lips and muffled sound of silence that encompasses the land . I chose charcoal pencil and white ink on tonal paper to create this piece and bring the magic of winter in my mind to fruition.

I have a friend who is currently on hospice. She is writing a short autobiography and needed a cover. She asked that I include the Bible quote. I researched some different painting techniques and settled on this one. Although it's not my usual painting style, I was very happy with results.

Title or Location: Vernal Equinox in the Straits of Mackinac
Winter?s grip on the Straits of Mackinac slowly melts away with each passing day of warm sunshine. The ice cover gradually retreats with the approaching spring and renewal of another shipping season on the Great Lakes. Round Island Lighthouse has been a sentinel and silent witness to this annual ritual for over a hundred years.

Cody was a much loved rescue and brought joy to his family. I felt using soft pastels was the best medium to use and managed to convey his character, which the client loved.
