The Photography Group last week reviewed the images that some of them had two weeks previously taken at Llantrisant where in addition to enjoying each others company and wondering at the activities of William Price – an interesting read if you don’t know anything about him – they had embarked upon trying to create images where either they created a double-exposure in their cameras, or they took two (or more) images and subsequently superimposed them using software. Other members who weren’t able to make the trip, chipped in with their images from elsewhere as you can see. The assembled group were so impressed at their achievements that they felt more members of the Cardiff u3a might like to see what they’d been up to. A gallery has therefore been produced for you to view (and marvel at their skills) …

… they next meet at The Knap in Barry on July 9th where (if they so wish to follow the theme) they will be taking “landscapes” – a challenge for that location many of the group felt.

The Morning group’s trip in March was to the Victoria and Thompson Parks, with the theme of High Key/Low Key. Then at our monthly meeting in the URC our convenor, Jonathan, showed the photos we had each chosen as out ‘top twos’. Later “an esteemed panel of experts” (from Jonathan’s family) chose as our Pick of the Month, the beautiful ‘high key’ camellia, taken by Patrizia.

Briefly, “high-key” refers to bright, evenly lit scenes with minimal contrast, while “low-key” describes scenes with strong contrasts, dark tones, and shadows.
