Creating landscape images is a challenge because what we see in person is often difficult for our cameras to capture. The lighting is out of our control and balancing the brightness of the sky with the darker foreground can be a problem. However, in winter the soft, earthy colors can create beautiful studies of form and structure. Award-winning photographer Laura Ducceschi will illustrate some of the challenges and solutions to creating landscape and outdoor photographs, including equipment, camera settings, and composition.

Friday evening begins with indoor instruction, preparing for shooting out in the gardens on Saturday morning. The class will wrap up with time to share images from the morning.

Participants will need to bring a camera, ideally one with interchangeable lenses, a fully charged battery, and a camera card with space to shoot freely. A tripod is strongly recommended. Some activities are not applicable to point-and-shoot cameras.
