Women's Photo Adventure Day-Away.

Class Description

This exterior photo-walk adventure begins indoors at MPC for a 90 minute refresher/skills course in the class-room to go over some basics before hitting the streets for a fun day of guided photography with the instructor. We will shoot 3 hours near the river in downtown Minneapolis ( Stone Arch Bridge, St. Anthony Main, the Guthrie, US Bank Stadium, and surrounding attractions) and will stop at a riverside cafe for a light lunch.

We will travel back to The Center mid-afternoon to learn some basic Lightroom Editing software so you can edit and choose some of your best photographs. We conclude with Happy Hour at 4:00, when we all learn to make an 11X14 digital print on the Epson 800 Color Printer as a momento of the day together!

The emphasis is on fun, and improving your photography a bit while enjoying a beautiful day away from it all!

Group size limited to 6 women. $165.00

Topics that will be discussed and demonstrated:

We will practice and focus on: Controlling depth of field, creative use of fast AND slow shutter speeds, when to use different lenses, adjusting ISO, and use of a tripod. Our main emphasis will be on recognizing and framing great urban pictures, composition, and having fun with the camera!

Class Requirements

Please bring a Digital SLR camera or Compact Digital camera with ISO, Shutter Speeds and F-Stops.

We are recommending that you have taken our Beginning Digital 1 photography class or similar so you have some of the basics of the Exposure Triangle and Camera handling down.

Bring your camera bag with additional lenses if you have them, an extra battery and/or charger, and a tripod if you have one.
