The Edinburgh Photography Meetup Group

A 3 in 1 trip to the Hight Street.
1- Meet Joe Houghton in person, our Lightroom and photography trainer extraordinaire who is visiting Edinburgh for the first time
2- Take pictures of the mad crowds of the High Street and take a walk to the Scottish Parliament to see their current exhibition Mother Glasgow (photography)
3- EPS are currently running their yearly International Exhibition, we can help them advertise it by taking some of their flyers and handing them out to people around.
That will be a fun morning.
Note the 10 am start Mercat Cross

Did you wear a traffic cone hat during the World Cup? We are feeling the pull west to visit our friends in Glasgow once again. We are hoping that some of the Southside Snappers will be free to join us as we explore the city centre.

You will need to make your own way to Glasgow, we will meet at the main door to the Queen Street Station, the one facing George Square at 1pm.
Watch this space for further details.

Aimed in particular at those who will be exhibiting photographs at Edinburgh Photographic Society as part of Project 26 this photo mounting practical session will be open to all. Amanda and Pete will bring along the photo prints that exhibitors have printed via A and M and will also bring along any mounts ordered by those Project 26 exhibitors who have ordered mounts. All others wishing to join in should bring along mounts and photos

Today's photography challenge is to take street photographs inspired by Saul Leiter (https://lulamag.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/sl0703002.jpg).

Saul was a street photographer, based in New York with a very distinctive style. He made use of bold colours, often photographed through (often steamy) windows and mirrors, and regularly used sub-frames as a key part of his composition. Sub-frames might be constructed by something as simple as a window (as shown in the taxi photograph above), by areas of shade and light, reflections in puddles, or by reflections and people seen through windows.

Look out for bold colours, windows, mirrors, areas of deep shade or bright light.

We'll meet in the Barony Bar on Broughton Street from 2.30pm after our photoshoot
