Judging Night 08/02/2022 – “Negative Space” 7PM @ ZOOM

Due to the current COVID outbreak the committee have decided to have future meetings via ZOOM. An updated notice will be sent out when this situation changes.
There will be NO face to face meeting at DeMolay on the 08/02/2022

Judging Night 08/02/2022 – “Negative Space” 7PM @ ZOOM
-Proposing new Secretary : Pete McDonald
-Finalising Minutes from 2021 AGM

Judge: Travis Lord
“Negative space” as opposed to “Positive Space” is the area which surrounds the main subject of interest in your photo. “Negative space” defines and emphasises the main subject of a photo, drawing your eye to it. It provides “breathing room”, giving your eyes somewhere to rest and preventing your image from appearing too cluttered. All of this adds up to a more engaging composition.
