With Len touring lutruwita (Tasmania) and takayna / Tarkine in particular, over this month it is time to give the weekly challenge group a project to work on. We will meet next week as usual to discuss and see your starting ideas.

This week we are reinforcing and revising the work in the last three weeks, by exploring multiples and adding photographs onto one page…

In this weeks exercise we are exploring and practicing blend modes more…

In this weeks exercise we experiment with Blend Modes. We do this either in camera, on your phone or in software.

Working with two fonts makes words and text that goes with your photographs more interesting.

Adding words to diptychs is an important skill to work on. Well it is if you wish to make books. Consider the text as a design element, rather than just asking where do they fit in.

In this weeks exercise we play with the layout for the same two photographs as diptychs.

Auditioning artworks or looks may be a better way to think about how your sort your images or process variations. Try them out. This weeks exercise explores this.

This weeks exercise asks you to explore creating new split tones and sharing them with the group.

Photograph the same subject in vertical and in horizontal formats. Use only the 8 x 10 aspect ratio. Do not just crop the same image both ways.

Can we make high and low key images from the same subject or is it impossible. This weeks exercise we explore and see what we can find.

Len’s Class has a new time slot and format… Nine thirty am Tuesdays. The mystery presentation will now be apart of the class, and will no longer be given at night.

This weeks exercise is about selectively adding brighter bits to low key photographs.

Does a high key image need a black point? In this weeks exercise we experiment with this.

This week we explore intentional over exposure to create some high key images.

Lens Class will be a live stream on youtube on Tuesday the 6th December 2022 at 11 am Sydney time. Len will be processing your colour photographs into monochrome. This is open to anyone in Len’s Club. The final files can be provided to you afterwards if you wish. Please join us for our first attempt at live streaming a show.

This exercise will continue over a number of weeks, each week we will explore a different contrast.

Taking on the knowledge from the discussion about reflections, now work on a series that pushes yourself harder that explores reflections further.

In this weeks exercise we are going to explore and discuss reflections as a creative compositional tool.
