Abstract Photography

Abstract Photography

Saturday 22 February
Westminster - 10pm - 2 Hours
Brian Gumo
Abstract photography involves capturing a subject in a way that renders it either partially or completely unrecognizable, emphasizing instead on the interplay of shapes, colors, and form.

In this workshop, we will explore the art of creating striking and thought-provoking images through the use of abstraction.

Our experienced instructor will guide you through the process of understanding and applying the principles of abstract photography, including composition, color, and texture. We will cover topics such as finding inspiration in everyday objects, experimenting with different angles and perspectives.

Composition in the Park

Composition in the Park

Saturday 05 April
Grange Creek - 10am - 2 Hours
Brian Gumo
Come and join us as we explore composition in photography.

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.

    Title or Location: Mesa Road Overlook, Colorado Springs, CO, USA
    This is one of our iconic and timeless views here in Colorado., the Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs, CO. USA. This was from Fall of 2021 and was taken during the ?Golden Hour? of sunrise. The golden light from the sunrise really gives the rock formations such beautiful color and brings out the reds and oranges of the landscape. And since it was Fall time, there was the added bonus of the vegetation and shrubs also showing their Fall colors. Camera: Canon T8iLens: Canon EF-S18-5

    In early January, I was up early helping the guys get packed to go grouse hunting. They left well before sunrise, so I decided to venture out to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge to take some photos. I was met with this amazing sunrise before entering the wildlife loop.

    As the sun starts to set, the Bush Babies of Crocodile Bridge rest camp awaken. I sat patiently by the pole in the fence, waiting for them to emerge. These nocturnal beauties cautiously pop their heads up, then back down, before jumping off into the setting sky, eager for their night ahead.
