New Assignment.
Long Exposure. The new assignment for Wifie members this month is to explore the creative world of ‘Long Exposure’. There are different ways to try this technique out, one of them being Intentional Camera Movement (ICM), which has been an assignment previously. Here’s a chance to try something different.
All members welcome to take part.

Assignment 30.
Photographic Triptych. It was excellent to see how different members approached this assignment and we have ended up with some amazing results. Angie, Lorraine and Yvonne have chosen to use a linear approach to tell the story of their chosen subject and all of them work really well. I particularly like the way Lorraine picked up the red on the woodpeckers and used this as her background colour for her canvas.
Olga, Eileen, Maddy and Margaret chose a square canvas for their images, with some choosing to have a key image stretching the canvas width or length complimented by some detail shots to great effect.

Workshop on High & Low Key.
Our most recent workshop was to explore High Key and Low Key photography. Wifie members then went on to explore this further at home and created the following results.
In the Spotlight.....call for participation.
Wifie members are invited to submit photographs for 'In the Spotlight'. This includes members who are new to Wifie and those who have been members for some time. Maybe you have already been part of 'In the Spotlight' but have new work you'd like to share.
This is a space to present your own style of photography, the images that you are passionate about and want to share with others. It's all about you and your creativity. Previous posts are still available to see. In The Spotlight
INSPIRED BY...
We all love going to see exhibitions and after our visits we will usually go for a cuppa and a chat. Exhibitions are excellent for inspiring members to consider areas of photographic practice that they may not of considered before and then go on to develop their own responses to the photography that they have seen. Each image below will take you to a different exhibition that inspired members.
PREVIOUS WORKSHOPS/PHOTOSHOOTS.
From time to time Wifie members meet up to take part in workshops or photoshoots. These are very informal and usually focused on camera techniques. Following a workshop or photoshoot members are invited to share their work from the day or go on to produce further images on the chosen theme or technique. Each image below will take you to a different photography session.
PREVIOUS ASSIGNMENTS
Exploring different aspects of photography through assignments.
Wifie members are invited to take part in regular assignments as a way to extend their skills or to further develop skills that they already have. These assignments are suggested by different members of Wifie and will sometimes be linked to a workshop or another event that has been organised as part of our annual programme. Each image below will take you to a different assignment.
