Saturday 21 June
Deansgate and Castlefield - 11am - 2 Hours
Manchester Photography Group
Warren McCann
Architectural photography can be a great way of exploring and documenting a city, whether it's your home or on holiday. Its about capturing not only the design and accurate representation of a building, but to have the shots be aesthetically pleasing to the viewer's eye. An architectural photographer makes pictures, not takes pictures. In this session, we will be covering how to better understand Architecture photography and we'll be looking at ways to take some impressive shots and the camera settings to use. Taking place in the deansgate area, we will move into castlefield and bring focus to the industrial architecture of victorian manchester. We will be using the formal elements of photography as a guideline so look out for an email a few days before the event with some further information on this.

These beautiful images are all around us in nature. It just takes that special "eye" to not only see it but to capture it in a way that will turn that simple little piece of nature into a beautiful piece of art. We will learn how to use different angles, light and shadows, and settings to make subjects pop.

    I took this photograph whilst walking home from one of my usual walks around town taking pictures. However, on this particular day I hadn?t really taken anything but stopped on the way home when I noticed the shadows of the trees. I love photographing my home town and often try taking pictures from a different perspective to make us think about the places we often take for granted.

    This photo was a part of the first roll of film I ever shot. I had just gotten my first SLR, and as a zookeeper at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, I thought it would be fun to start with some portraits of all my favorite critters. Scarlet the Red Fox was very curious about the camera and ended being the perfect model. Minolta X-700, expired Kodak Ultramax 400
