Classroom Workshop Feature:
“Moments in Nature”
A presentation of select adventures Chad experienced while capturing landscapes and wildlife imagery. Scenes caught in lightning storms, on cliff ledges, and during face-to-face encounters with bears are among the highlights. The focus of the presentation is to share nature experiences and educate about lessons-learned.
Photography Instruction
Chad will teach you the fundamentals of photography to help you feel comfortable in using manual mode: ISO, shutter speed, aperture. Feel confident in understanding the balanced use of each. Often heard is the saying that “photography is not about capturing an image, it is about making an image.” By focusing on understanding the fundamentals of light, composition, and camera settings, you will become confident with your photography skills.
Field Workshop
The group will use their personal vehicles to meet the group at a pre-determined nature location to photograph landscapes and/or wildlife. Chad will provide field critiques during and after the workshop.
