Most of us have a couple of shots that we are really proud of. It might be an incredible shot of a storm or it could be a portrait that just came out perfectly.

Unfortunately for many of us, these gold shots are few and far between. Sure, we can get the occasional brilliant photo, but we find it hard to put together time after time. Don't worry, most of us have the same problem!

The thing is that by taking your time with a few basic skills, you can greatly increase the chances that you are going to increase your average for getting that great shot. The funny thing is that none of these skills are particularly difficult.

Tonight's Workshop: Composition Techniques - It's all about the basics!

Anyone can pick up a camera, aim it at a subject, and take a picture. That doesn’t mean the picture will turn out to be anything spectacular. Tonight we will look at some basic composition techniques that will dramatically improve your images. We will keep it simple. Remember that photographic composition is the pleasing arrangement of subject matter elements within the picture area.

Please bring your camera and your questions. If you have not used your camera in awhile, or your camera is new to you, please bring along the users manual.

Keep those shutters snapping.
