Topic: “Evaluate Your Pictures” with Presenter Virginia Stranaghan
Presentation:
We take pictures, snapshots for most, travel memories, family gathering, flowers, pets, buildings and other images when we feel like it or have time.
We look at them on our computers, when we have time, or show them to our friends and families.
We compare them to other amateur photographers and we critique ourself.
We attend seminars, workshops, lectures, we watch videos, read magazines, and all in the name of improvement.
What kind of photographer am I? How do I feel about my photographs? Are they any good?
What if we could learn how to evaluate our pictures, explore new paths, and also help others to improve through a constructive feedback?
Then being free of doubts, we would dare putting our pictures on a wall and let them shine.
