2024-04-16 Fine Art Photography SIG meeting notes
We met online using ZOOM 6:00pm-8:15pm
The goal of our Fine Art Photography SIG is to help each other to create fine art from our photography.
The Fine Art SIG is a place where artists support each other and nurture creativity in others.
Unrequested criticism can feed an artist's fear of failure and stifle their creative growth.

PICK A TOPIC FOR THE NEXT MEETING
We decided to do an "Exercise in Seeing" for the next month. Go to a local park, not some place special, just an ordinary park, and practice "SEEING" or looking around and imagining how your camera would see things, and then capture images that please you. SEEING is more than just looking, it is looking deep into someone to observe how they feel, or looking deeply into the details of an object to notice its beauty or fascinating details. Try to capture someone's emotions or the beauty and detail of an ordinary object.
Facebook Group "Photography Tricks Group". Members of this group post lots of photographs using interesting techniques.
