Archived Photography Assignments

  • Assignment - Strong Lines/Angles

    An interesting topic with plenty of scope to come up with alternative perspectives on the theme of strong lines and/or angles. Here are a few of our members' contributions.

  • Assignment - Low/High Angle or Looking Up/Looking Down

    This month's assignment was designed to offer alternative perspectives of the subject by shooting from high and/or low angles or, alternatively, by looking up and/or looking down on the subject.

    We also showed images taken on the recent outing to Portmore to look at the snowdrops and discussed the capabilities of Apple's photo editing software and its ability to remove unwanted objects from an image..

  • Assignment - Interesting Animals / Image Distortion

    This month, the photography group had a catch-up meeting and both showed and discussed images from two separate assignments: Interesting Animals and/or Image Distortion (often interpreted by members as Intentional Camera Movement or ICM).

  • Assignment - 'A Sense of Place'

    This assignment left it up to the photographer to interpret what he or she felt was meant by 'A sense of place'.

    Probably somewhere that had a special meaning or invoked fond memories for the individual.

  • Assignment - Keep It Simple

    A simple title but not the easiest of assignments to decide quite what might fit the criteria. Should it be minimalist? Should it be B&W so that the colours did not distract from its simplicity? Should it be a small subject with lots of 'negative space?'

    These are a few images that members came up with for their interpretations of the assignment.
