Street art is a unique and colorful art form and can be found in all kinds of nooks and crannies in cities all over the world. Capturing art in the streets in photographs can be tricky because these urban art pieces are in public spaces, that are busy and usually filled with a decent amount of traffic. Sometimes you include the people and sometimes, you don't.

Christopher John
Do you gaze up at the night sky with wonder? What about looking up at the stars and thinking, how old that light you are seeing is? Maybe you watch as day and night morph into one, and the stars come out to play.

This meetup is going to cover off everything you need to know to start capturing amazing single shot astrophotography and a few extra bits of helpful advice. The learnt basics of capturing a single frame will form the building blocks of your astrophotography journey. Think of this meetup as your first step on that journey or for those who have already started, maybe a road sign.

Astrophotography looks amazing and packs a real punch, however, you do not need to spend a fortune to partake. Does gear make a difference, the simple answer is yes, but it is not the deciding factor when it comes to astrophotography. This meetup will look at planning your session, camera settings, required equipment. I want this meetup to help you maximise your current gear as your start capturing milky way shots.

Saturday 12 July
King St., Newcastle - 9am - 2 Hours
Newcastle Photography Group
Christopher John
Come and join us as we explore composition in photography.

Composition is one of the most critical element in photography. Composition is how a photographer arranges the visual elements within their image, frame. I promise you that if you search for information on composition you will find plenty You will find formal rules, opinion, some of which you can trace back to historical art movements and painters.

Even in the digital world, composition remains the key to creating strong images. Composition is what guides our eye through an image and gives importance to the subject. It creates the story for the viewer and how we as photographers convey that message.

This meetup will explore composition using our frame and tools available to us as the photographer.

    Rachael is a passionate crocheter who has lived in the surrounds of Newcastle her whole life. Rachael does her best to embrace a slow paced family life along with her children, high school sweetheart and little suburban farm of animals. Rachael is an advocate for the simple, beautiful things in life, her home, her family, her craft and her animals, and is usually happiest in a pair of gumboots working with her miniature ponies or crocheting in a cozy corner somewhere quietly at home.
    Rachael comes from a long line of knitters and crocheters though crochet is the craft that took her heart, loving the simplicity of one hook, a ball of yarn and a creative spirit. Rachael prefers the simple and classic stitches with the Granny Stitch being right up there as one of her favourite's. Rachael says that "nothing quite gets you like choosing a new color scheme and the rhythmic process of working with your hands to create something beautiful". Rachael has personally studied and researched the health benefits of crochet (upon realizing our grannies must have known a thing or two beyond the practicalities) and loves sharing this delightful craft with others, both avid crocheters as well as introducing the art to complete beginners knowing the mindful enrichment that crochet can bring.
