Lighting Photography Workshop – Sat Feb 10 2018

Blackstone Valley Art Association Leave a comment

Light is the key to photography. Just how does light impact the photos you are taking? What happens when you use incandescent light, fluorescent light, or LED lights? How do they compare with sunlight? Bring your camera or cellphone and we’ll play with real life examples. If you don’t have a camera, that’s fine, just come and learn!

When:
Saturday, Feb 10, 2018
1pm – 3pm

Where:
BVAA Alternatives Uxbridge Community Gallery
5 South Main Street
Uxbridge, MA

Macro Photography Workshop – Sat 2/3/18

Blackstone Valley Art Association Leave a comment

Macro photography is all about appreciating the small things in life. The details. It draws one in to being mindful about the tiny items which might otherwise go unnoticed. The eyes of a bumblebee. The details of a flower petal. The curve of a watch gear.

If you’ve got a cellphone or a camera, bring it along to play. If you don’t, that’s fine! You can watch, learn, and enjoy the experience. All are welcome, and it’s free!

Entering the Show
The fee for entering is $25 for up to 3 works. All participants must either be current BVAA members or have belonged to the BVAA in the past. The theme is wide open. You can submit a portrait, landscape, still life, abstract, seascape, you name it. Your imagination is the limit.

All artwork must be family friendly and properly wired for hanging. Our hanging system does not work with saw-tooth or triangle hangers. If you are new to preparing artwork for shows, read our page on How to Mat and Frame a Photo. Please also check out our Show Terms and Conditions

We will hang the show on Thursday.

Opening Reception
The opening reception will be determined, probably Friday, May 18th. Invite family and friends – all are welcome!
