On a recent Tuesday evening, members of Irvine Camera Club took a trip up to Dean Castle Country Park.  We challenged our photographers to take photos from a different perspective of their surroundings by adjusting their positions to get high up or low down. This creates images that are out of the ordinary, showing the world in a different way to we usually experience it.  With the light fading fast we also encouraged everyone to make use of the light and shade found in the park.  Finally, we really pushed ourselves to be creative and to embrace the idea of moving the camera while taking a shot.  This can produce dream like abstracts with an impressionistic quality.  I hope you enjoy these superb photos which show just what can be achieved with a little imagination and creativity.

 

If you would like to come along, learn about photography, make some new friends, explore stunning landscapes, visit exhibitions and places of interest and see what we are up to, then please take a look at our website and get in touch.  Every week we are somewhere different over the summer months: https://irvinecc.co.uk/programme
