They learnt about composition, rule of thirds, sometimes to see the situation as well as a photo object - is enough to change the "point of view" - angle from where you are looking, how to take a beautiful landscape picture and how to pose and take a picture while traveling. I gave one task before the theoretical part of the meeting - to take a piece of cake and to decorate it in a plate. By using all provided things for decoration, they had to create a tasty looking photogaphy object and to take a picture of it. This, 2 in 1 task proved that we do see the same things in a different way and each of us have different level of creativity. For participants it was very interesting to observe each others work. The most important, given information and time being together made happy all participants, some of them even decided to come back to more serious photography and to buy cameras, as phone is not enough anymore. For me it was pleasure to see satisfied faces, it is always good when people make nice pictures, make themselves and others happy and share that happiness with others. “While we teach, we learn,” said the Roman philosopher Seneca.
