Abstract Photography - Salt Palace Convention Center - 2pm - 2 Hours
Abstract Photography enables the photographer to be very creative, by zeroing in on the color, texture, line, shape, geometry, symmetry, or reflection of a scene, the photographer warps our perception of a familiar object.
Abstract photography, like all abstract art, focuses on the simplest elements of artistic expression. The viewer is often unable to see the whole subject within the photo. Getting into abstract photography is one of the best ways that any aspiring photographer can start out in photography.

It was very informative and offered a nice way to practice a form of photography that is definitely harder than it looks. Nancy did a great job of structuring the Meetup, with set time limits for completing each assignment. The talk and historic photographer slideshow at the beginning helped to set the tone and provided some good inspiration for what was to follow. The assignments helped me a bit to break out of my shell, to be a little less shy about photographing people in a street photography setting. Thank you, Nancy, for a wonderful first ever Meetup event for me!
