Street Photography Interest Group Outing – 9.00am Sunday 13th October – Final Reminder
Our next outing will be on Sunday 13th October starting at 9.00am. We will meet in the open space opposite The Happy Wombat Café which is located at 605 Hunter Street, opposite the NSW TAFE Building.
The Happy Wombat is open from 8.00am so it’s a good spot if you want to have some breakfast or a coffee before we start our photoshoot. At this time of the day there should be plenty of unrestricted street parking. You can also park free for 3 hours in the Coles carpark at Market Town which is nearby. Depending on numbers we may break into two groups. We will head over to the tram stop which is a short distance from our meeting place. One group will catch a tram up to the interchange. The other group will head to the beach end. Each group will work their way back to our starting point either by wandering or jumping off and on the tram. I would like you to confine yourselves to the tram corridor, a “block either side”. Your aim will be to capture images of Objects you find on the street.
The Challenge:
Objects surround you wherever you are on the street. Signs, graffiti, street furniture, dogs, prams, you name it. Whether they are things that move or are inanimate they are valid subjects for street photographers. Try to focus your attention on particular types of objects, whether they be signs, litter, street furniture, doorways. Try and come up with a theme that ties your collection of images together. No people!
Some of the techniques you will be developing and using are your observational skills. Your composition skills will be important to isolate the object you have chosen from the background. I would like you to submit four images again and few words as to why you selected these objects to photograph and share. Your images can be in colour or monochrome. The deadline for sending me your images is 31st October.
Whilst this is the focus of this photoshoot keep your eyes open to other opportunities. It is fairly early in the day so depending on the weather there should be opportunities for high contrast shots as morning light penetrates the built environment. There will be a street topic in the club’s 2025 Set Subjects so this is a good opportunity to capture more general street images.
Finally, the weather. Forecast at present is overcast and maximum of 20 deg. C. If this changes dramatically and I judge it’s best to cancel I will send out another post but at the moment we look good to go ahead.
My mobile number is 0438 403 933.
