Black and White (Special Interest Group)


Contact: Steve Ricketts
Sign up for this SIG

In this special interest group, hosted by Steve Rickets, members come together to share a special interest for black and white photography. This lively and interactive monthly meeting is open to photographers of all skill levels. It runs on the first Thursday of the month, September through May.

Why Black and White Photography?
It's a medium for artistic expression where the emphasis is on the shapes, the contrasts and the patterns instead of in the colour. See examples.
​

 Zoom. To participate you will need a computer with a microphone and camera, or a smart tablet. You must pre-register to receive the link to the Zoom meetings.

  • A live group edit of images. Someone will share their screen and do the editing, based on everyone’s suggestions.
