Instructor: Karen L. MessickWorkshop Limit: 10 people
Create nostalgic landscape images of old barns, rolling fields lined with white wood fences, iron gates and stone residences. This land was once privately owned but is now part of the Cromwell Valley Park.
There will be opportunities to photograph wildlife as there are many species of raptors such as the Red-tailed Hawk, American Kestrel, and Great Horned Owl, which prey on a healthy population of small mammals such as rabbits, deer mice, and meadow voles. White-tailed deer and red fox are also plentiful. Songbird populations include Baltimore Oriole, Bobolink, Eastern Meadowlark, Indigo Bunting, Eastern Bluebird, and many others. Belted Kingfishers and Great Blue Herons are often seen around the Minebank Run Stream.
We'll practice creatively using the aperture setting to vary the depth of field, discuss metering for correct exposure, and help you "See" dynamic compositions. A basic understanding of photography is recommended.
