 It was interesting night with the great critique from which we learned and was reminded about important points to keep in mind when we taking and editing photos :
– Crop and make sure your image has an obvious subject
– The eye is drawn to lighter areas
– Reposition yourself to change the background in your image
– Have odd numbers of elements in your images
– Check the “Visual weight” – the new term
– Minimalism require minimum content
And as always, we are thankful to our venue Cultural Club Gallery http://www.cultureclub.com.hk
and it’s staff for accommodating the club!
