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.

    Great location for a beginner's class. Instructor encouraged participants to take photos while suggesting different techniques. Small class size helps to individualize the instruction and assist with different skill levels. I will continue to take lessons in the future. Enjoyed the experience!

    I was walking along the pier. The sky was a canvas of swirling, ominous clouds, a stark contrast to the typically vibrant hues of the city. While looking at the horizon I realized the storm was brewing. It was a perfect opportunity for a dramatic photo.I found a sturdy spot on the pier, ensuring my camera would be steady. As I watched the cruise ship glide past, I planned my composition. I wanted the ship to be the focal point, but I also wanted to showcase the dramatic sky. I decided to cente

    Title or Location: Sunny Isles Pier Beach
    I captured this a few mornings back at the Sunny Isles Pier Beach. It was a good sunrise that was not obscured by clouds. To make the photo a bit more interesting I decided to add one of the fisherman that was net casting for bait. Although my main camera gear is Nikon, I captured this with my Sony RX100vii that is always with me. I did some minor edits and adjustments using Adobe Lightroom.

    Title or Location: Photo was taken ar the Will Rogers tower in the cultural district of Fort Worth, TX.
    I wanted to shoot the lunar eclipse but at the same time incorporate some quintessential Fort Worth icons into the image for context. I knew I would need to use a very long telephoto to get a large moon but in doing so knew that the rest of the image would need to be some distance from me due to the tunnel vision of the telephoto. I used Photopills and The Photographer?s Ephemeris to plan the shot which was taken with Fuji X system mirrorless equipment.

    I couldn?t sleep on Thursday March 13th, so I took out my camera and remembered there was a blood moon scheduled to appear tonight after midnight. I steeped outside, set up my tripod and camera. It was rather chilly so I grabbed a coat and stood on the patio waiting for the show to begin. Slowly the moon started to disappear. I waited patiently and photographed every phase in that 1.5 hours until the entire moon was covered and the amazing colors started to glow. Truly a beautiful capture as th
