We are living in a visual world! This workshop prepares kampers for taking portraits, landscapes, action shots and so much more. Photograph unique subjects and challenging situations. Point and shoot, then prepare photos for publication. Learn how to use editing software, write captions and create an effective digital workflow. A point and shoot or DSLR camera with manual controls and a card reader are required for this class.
As Koshollek shares on his webpage, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” -Ansel Adams
