Meeting on November 11, 2018

Nikolai Gogol: It's not my job to preach a sermon. Art is anyhow a homily. My job is to speak in living images, not in arguments. I must exhibit life full-face, not discuss life.

At today's meeting, we  began with  discussing this phrase by the well-known writer. As photographers, we only need to follow life, observe it and capture it.

We continued with technical issues. How does photo shutter speed affect photo? We tried with a spinning top

The tops are spinning…

In the first photo we used a slow shutter speed (1/15 sec) and in the second a fast one (1/2000 sec).

Note: the tops were spinning in both cases

It is easy to see what the photographer can do in either case.

And, of course, as requested by the most, we played again our favorite ice breaking game:

Finally, we went out to the school yard and took some pictures:

One of us is taking photographs, another one is posing ...

I  believe I can fly!

Fast speed = freezing motion
