Street Photography (OCW)
2022-02-17 19:00 - 22:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) | 18 Septemberplein
This activity is all about street photography! Although the name is somewhat misleading in a way because we’re not going to take pictures of the pavement but of things on the street.
Street photography is easy to pick up yet sometimes hard to execute training in photography. However, very interesting for beginning photographers and the masters of the craft.
If you are somewhat shy to talk to strangers or people you don’t know this is the workshop for you!
In this workshop, we will go through all the dos and don’ts and tips and tricks before going through the streets of Eindhoven centrum to take our own pictures. We will split up in small groups so that everyone can perform this exercise (with at least every group one camera. If you have your own camera bring it with you! Smartphones are not really suitable for this activity, but it is possible). The focus lays on: getting over the fear of using a camera on the street and communicating with strangers, using your camera quickly, being creative, some camera settings, and lots of “just do it”!

Movie Night
2022-01-25 20:00 - 23:00 | Discord
One of our favorite activities during the exam week is a relaxed movie night of course. During this movie night we will be watching ‘Cidade de Deus’! ‘Cidadadeda de what!?’ you might ask, ‘Ci-da-de de Deus’. Also known as ‘City of God’. This high paced movie about a young aspiring photographer in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, has some beautiful cinematography, but also especially good editing. It manages to make a story with dozens of characters easy to follow and puts you on the edge of your seat. Stick around after the movie to discuss this epic piece of cinema.

Lichtjesroute
2021-10-05 20:00 - 22:00 | In Front of Luna, De Lampendriessen 31, Eindhoven, 5612AH, Netherlands
As the days get shorter and shorter, we start to turn on the lights! To commemorate the liberation of Eindhoven at the end of the second World War, a route has been created which is decorated by beautiful works of art using lights. We will follow in the steps of the liberating forces, by biking over (part of) this route, and taking pictures along the way. This is a great place to make some nice bokeh pictures and play with interesting lighting.

This will be our open activity of the month, so also non-members are welcome! You will need a bicycle for this activity.

We will gather near the bike racks at the Luna building, on TU/e campus.
