50mm Challenge: Street Photography Meetup

50mm Challenge: Street Photography Meetup "Color: The Winter Edition"

Saturday 16 December
Fremont Street - 10am - 2 Hours
Las Vegas Photography Group
Matthew Consoli
We will restrict ourselves to shooting at the equivalent of 50mm (Crop sensor equivalent or full-frame). At the same time, we will conduct a tour of street art, people, buildings, graffiti and mural art pieces with rich colors. The fun doesn't end there: afterward, you will be encouraged to produce colorful versions of your compositions that push against the threshold of good taste and composition and boldly share them for posterity and feedback.

Looking for an excuse to dust off your trusty nifty-fifty? Are you casually experienced with composing at 50mm? Join us as we go-back-to-basics, and rediscover the versatility of the classic standard focal length! Yes, we will be relying on our feet to serve as the zoom, and we will be rediscovering the struggle with cropping and composing at a fixed focal length.

    As a girl I lived in a small community of nearly all Italian immigrants or first generation to USA. One lady stuck in my memory because she always wore a kerchief, as she picked fresh dandelion greens for her salad lunch. We kids were a "tribe"every morning running through the field next to her small home smashing the young greens. She would run out shaking her fist yelling "Youse Kids! Youse is CaCa! Youse kids is Shit!! Our mother put a stop to us running through the field. So I made this p

    Title or Location: Baffins pond Portsmouth
    This was one of my first attempts at water colours which I did back in July 2023. The location is Baffins pond, a beautiful spot in my local neighborhood where lots of people hang out to feed the birds and watch nature. There was a lot of things worth painting but as the painting progressed I kind of became more interested in the tree in the foreground with it's roots pushing up through the pavement.
