Light and shadow photography is a type of photography that focuses on capturing the interplay between light and shadow in a particular scene. This style of photography often produces dramatic and compelling images that can evoke strong emotions in the viewer.

Harsh light and the contrast between light and shadow can provide some interesting photo
opportunities, as well as some challenges!

In this meetup, we will be looking at how you can use your camera's settings to nail the exposure.

This is a more intermediate class so basic skills would be an advantage but not impossible if you have never crocheted before as I work with a group and also provide one on one help, so if you are a beginner, come and give it a go. All materials are included in the price and you will be able to take your hook and wool with you to make more at home from what you learn. A yummy food platter, coffee, tea and water will also be supplied on the day for all of us to share.
