Outdoor Photography Class

Location: Local
Dates: June 2 and 7, 2007
Contact: Randy Smith at rsimages@cox.net

We will be offering an outdoor photography class in June. This is a chance to sharpen up your photo skills before the summer fishing season gets under way. Don't miss a great learning opportunity, GSF member Randy Smith, a remarkable photographer who has taught photo classes several times in the past, will show us how to take GREAT pictures on Saturday, then will show us how to make those photos look even BETTER using computer software like Photoshop on Thursday.
 
You don't have the latest Hasselblad whiz-bang camera? You aren't Ansel Adams? Heck, this class is for you - you will learn to do the best you can with the equipment that you already have. I (Steve Piper) will be using a small point and shoot digital camera that I carry in the surf sometimes - I am hoping to make those 8 inch perch look like gorgeous 24 inch lunkers in Photoshop.

This course will consist of two days of instruction. On Saturday, June 2 we will meet at a local outdoor location (to be announced) for a day of instruction and group photography. We will meet again in the evening on June 7 for a follow-up computer class and informal critique. 

Things we will discuss include:

Composition
Perspective
Using the light
Equipment options
Dealing with contrast
Picking your subjects
Using a computer to edit and enhance your images
Many other subjects
