HUPS Workshop Series

Underwater Composition & More

March 5th, 2012

Is it just learning how to “see” like the masters?UW Video Housing
Or is it more personal?

You’ve all heard the saying: “I don’t know much about art but I know what I like.”  Or you might consider: “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”  What these two statements may be saying is that we all have a built-in “filter” that lets us perceive what is good and what is a bunch of nothing much.
In this workshop, we’ll see many examples of different types of composition… not just the old war-horses, “the rule of thirds”, “diagonals”, etc, but some of the more interesting types of compositional tools that can work to make what we photograph underwater compelling, wonderful, and impossible to forget.
After we go over the examples and talk about them, we will get everyone involved by showing examples and having an open forum discussion on what we like, what we don’t like, and why.  I’ll invite anyone that attends to bring 2-3 images on a thumb drive for the group to view and discuss.  Finally, we’ll judge a set of pictures, average the results and compare our scores with what the group likes.
This workshop will be all about how you perceive the world and why we like certain images and don’t like others.  Come and be heard.  Learn about yourself and maybe, just maybe, become more perceptive of the beauty that surrounds us.

Hope to see eveyone there!

Any other questions please let me know.
