Early fall has arrived in Ohio, and touches of autumn color are beginning to appear in wetlands and woodlands around the Buckeye State. Goldenrod and asters are taking center stage in fields and along roadsides over the next few weeks, and the annual parade of autumn color will reach its peak in late October and early November. Join us on October 17-18 at the Cleveland Botanical Garden for an intensive, weekend workshop in digital landscape and nature photography with Ohio photographer, writer and teacher Ian Adams.
On Saturday morning we’ll cover the basics of digital landscape and nature photography, including:
* Tips for photographing landscapes and nature with your smartphone, and which subjects are better suited to your point-&-shoot or SLR camera;
* Essential digital camera features and settings;
* How to get perfectly exposed photos, and how to control image sharpness and depth-of-field;
* The best lighting for outdoor photography;
* Tips for finding and photographing Ohio’s best scenic vistas, natural areas and preserves, scenic rivers and byways, zoos and public gardens, historic barns and bridges, rural areas, landmark buildings, murals, and holiday lighting displays.
After lunch, join Ian Adams for an afternoon photo shoot in the gardens at Cleveland Botanical Garden.
On Sunday morning, share your favorite photos from Saturday’s photo shoot and receive feedback and a critique by Ian Adams.
After lunch on Sunday, we’ll provide you with tips for organizing and fine-tuning your digital photos on your PC or Mac, using Adobe Photoshop CC/CS6 and Lightroom CC/6.0. You’ll learn how to share your favorite digital photos with family and friends, using email, slide programs, color inkjet prints, social media and other websites, and self-published books.
Autographed copies of Ian’s new books, A Photographer’s Guide to Ohio, A Photographer’s Guide to Ohio – Volume 2, and Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens – Centennial Edition, will be available during the weekend program.
