Advanced Photography Workshop (Indoors)
Presented by Kevin Karlson
November 16, 2019 (Saturday)
10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Visitor Information Center
Digital photography allows us to take our photography skills and techniques to higher levels every year, but many photographers disregard or don’t know about basic lighting principles and compositional balance that all art forms rely upon. This workshop covers several topics that will elevate your photography knowledge and skills while increasing your artistic input. Flight and action techniques and exposure compensation on the fly using manual exposure are covered, as well as basic and advanced light awareness, synchronous panning, and compositional basics of balance and creative cropping. Wildlife and bird photography are emphasized, but landscape and close-up examples are also covered. Basic camera functions will not be discussed in this workshop.
Workshop is limited to 30 participants, who can each bring 2 images on a flash drive, any subject, for critique by Kevin Karlson and other participants of the workshop, who will comment on how they would have processed the images differently according to the workshop and their own preferences.
The cost is $35 for the workshop; pizza and refreshments will be provided. Only the first 30 entrants will be able to attend, with a short wait list for any dropouts.
