Downtown Pittsburgh - 10am - 2 Hours
Pittsburgh Photography Group
Paul Vladuchick
After you have a grasp of the basics of exposure, start to advance your skills by forming your creative compositions by concentrating on focal length, perspective and depth of field.

If you have a camera with two lenses (say, a 70-200 or 70-300) and don't know what to do with it, this is the class for you. We'll be working with longer focal lengths and seeing what incredible images we can compose. Longer focal lenses allow for some really fantastic perspectives that can be very useful for powerful story telling.

This is my granddaughter who plays the oboe in the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony. She's about to leave in a couple of weeks to study music (oboe) at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Here she was playing a piece of music in her mind before playing it on the oboe. She was a delight to paint.

Title or Location: Her Charming Glade
Her charming Glade was created solely based on the image of this wonderful woman searching for love. The elements of this three dimensional piece, subject, background and floral foreground, all came from different sources. Each piece is hand, cut, and layered to create three-dimensional depth and realism. She is looking for magic, so I found an ethereal background that looked as if magic could be found.

Title or Location: Don?t give up
Events occur early on in life. Children process these events in different ways and they become overwhelmed. My grandson went through a difficult period in his family that left him sad and withdrawn. I wrote this poem and painting to let him know he would be okay in time, just don?t give up because pups see only today, tomorrow things change and often in ways that surprise us.

Title or Location: Adventure Awaits
This scene is from an early morning boat ride in New Hampshire - we had been here a couple of times over the last few years. It was so quiet and the water so still . The early morning fog had not lifted and people were still not stirring. I snapped a photo when I saw this scene with the colorful leaves framing the waiting boats. I knew I would paint this one day. It?s a 24 x 30 gallery wrapped oil painting. It can be seen at the Elizabethan Gallery.
