Sol's Calendar of Events
Are you looking to expand your capabilities with your digital or film camera. In additon to learning how to compose images in an outdoor setting, this class will help increase your comfort level with your equipment. Geared toward beginners and intermediates from teens to seniors, attendees have also included hobbyists, birders, artists and carvers seeking to improve on the gathering of reference material and nature lover's looking to expand their capabilities. What's the workshop about? f-stop? Shutter speed? What do these things do? Film or digital? Manual or automatic? Printing a photograph? Wide angle vs. macro vs telephoto? Are any of these questions you have asked or photography questions you have ever asked? They and many more will be answered in this outdoor and nature photography workshop geared toward beginners and intermediates shooting with film or digitally. We’ll talk about equipment, what fools those automatic light meters (and how to compensate for them), getting close, places to shoot and more. There is much applicable to both film and digital photography and much applicable strictly to digital work. You’ll get notes, reprints, have some fun, learn a lot and walk away taking photographs rather than having your camera snap a picture for you. We’ll take a look at maximizing equipment at minimal costs, the tradeoffs, metering and composition and taking into account changing outdoor light conditions…….and how some of those fool that automatic light meter. There will talk about some topics specific to digital photography (but not how to use Photoshop) and composition, getting close to subjects, places to shoot; a shooting session on the multiday sessions; optional on the 1 day sessions ……………………and much more!!!!!!!!!!!! Open discussion and questions are encouraged, allowing participants to get some specific questions answered. The free exchange of information and ideas has proven to be helpful to all participants. What do you get? Each participant gets a binder containing the discussion notes, reprints of many articles to reinforce some of the discussion and other information. What do you have to bring to the workshop? Some enthusiasm for photography, a willingness to learn and some patience. Depending upon the time and location, participants are asked to bring a bag lunch Most people bring a camera (everything from disposables to the top-of-line have been in the same workshop) if they want some specific questions answered about it or if they plan to shoot as part of the workshop.
