The challenge set for the U3A Photography group this month was to photograph something starting with X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most of us took to Google or the dictionary to find things beginning with X. If you check it out there are actually many words in that list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not all are suitably photographic but our group gave it a crack and it showed how different we all approached the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were photos of Xanthorrhoea (grass trees), driftwood and ferns that made an X in the image, books from Xenophon (Greek Philosopher), Xeric watches, Xeric (arid) landscapes and plants, as well as Xmas and X-rays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The photo chosen to be showcased this month was from Carolyn Fredericks who thoroughly enjoyed being creative to capture this unique photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carolyn continues, \u201cIt was taken outside with me holding my hand X-ray up to the afternoon sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I positioned a hibiscus flower behind the X-ray and the sun between my fingers then took several shots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It wasn’t necessarily easy to achieve but it worked.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carolyn\u2019s camera is a Fujifilm XT 4. The settings were Manual mode, 16mm lens, f\/2 aperture, 1\/4000th<\/sup> of a sec, ISO 400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For information about the Myall U3A Photography Group please email the Groups Convenor Paul at mulvaney@bigpond.com<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The challenge set for the U3A Photography group this month was to photograph something starting with X.
