During this 1-day workshop, students will learn the basics of nature photography. We will discuss the importance of light, textures, and compositions. Long exposure and other techniques will be practiced to achieve results that step away from the traditional photos of nature.
During this 1-day workshop, students will learn the basics of nature photography. We will discuss the importance of light, textures, and compositions. Long exposure and other techniques will be practiced to achieve results that step away from the traditional photos of nature.
Students will use all types of cameras, including phone cameras, to explore the tropical landscape on Lincoln Road, the beach with the ocean and its vegetation, and other possibilities of nature photography.
The goal is to learn the many possibilities a camera or a phone offer to create images that steer away from the traditional nature photos. We will talk about technical aspects, the role of light at different times of the day as well as how to explore textures, and the difference between horizontal and vertical compositions.
A few photos per student will be selected, shared, and reviewed with the group after the practices.
Three decades ago, our founder, potter Ellie Schneiderman, sought affordable work spaces for our city’s visual artists. Today, Oolite Arts continues Schneiderman’s mission, to, as she said, “help artists help themselves.”
We are both a community and a resource, providing artists with the free studio space, exhibition opportunities, direct support and programming they need to advance their careers.
In this beginning workshop, students will learn all the controls and functions on their digital Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras, basic camera operation (including f-stop, shutter speed and ISO), fundamental concepts of photography, and how to control the photograph’s final look.
Understanding basic photography camera controls and functions to make more creative decisions. Train your eye to see stronger composition to have your photographs stand out from everyone else’s images.
Classes have been designed to combine hands-on, practical learning with inspirational insights around the broader themes of Photography.
Each Composition in the Field class begins with a talk with one of our experienced instructors, and then you and your fellow students take a stroll through one of a variety of photogenic locales (in any of the 20+ cities the DPA encapsulates).
After 20 years of offering Photography workshops, we have never produced one workshop with similar outcome, there is no exact science in how we do things but what remains consistent in our Photography classes are the specific instructions in perfect lighting.
