Gardens at Wickham Park, CT
An educational field trip for those who love taking photos!
Frustrated with how your pictures are turning out? Can’t get your camera to do what you want it to do? Maybe there’s a special effect you’ve seen other photographers do, but you can’t seem to quite figure out how to do it yourself? Do you know about Manual mode, but the thought of actually using it scares you?!
You’re not alone!
Every photographer has faced these situations at one point or another . . . and thankfully, they can all be resolved! You can have complete control of your camera. You can start taking better pictures.
And it’s not as hard as you might think!
You don’t need an expensive camera. You don’t need tons of knowledge. Just start with a few key principles and an understanding of the equipment that you have . . . and you can start taking pictures like a pro!
With plenty of time to practice, practice, practice under the guidance of a professional photographer, a Photography Field Day is a fun, hands-on workshop for learning specific photography techniques in the classroom of creation. Photographers of all experience levels are welcome. Bring your camera, and be prepared to learn:
- How to make beautiful, blurry backgrounds
- How to create the pro sunstar effect
- How to photograph the soft, silky water effect
- How to make your pictures tack sharp every time
- How to start shooting in Manual right now
- How photographers can make a positive impact on the world
There’s so much you can do with your camera! Let’s learn how to make the most of it.
Details
Who should come: Anyone who has a camera and wants to take beautiful pictures!
Tuition: $99/photographer, or $49/photographer for Lenspiration members!
Location: Wickham Park, 1329 Middle Turnpike W, Manchester, CT 06040. Entrance fee is $5/vehicle. Meet at Lot C. Any “classroom” time will be happening at Hemlock Grove 1.
Schedule: We’ll meet and greet at 11:00am (this is the time the park opens), find a picnic table, and go over some basic photography terms to make sure we’re all on the same page. Then we’ll learn and experiment hands-on with how to intentionally create various amazing artistic effects with our cameras! After lunch, we’ll head off to scenic shooting locations to put into practice everything we’ve learned and be done shooting after sunset. Please plan to provide your own transportation.
Meals: Bring your own picnic mid-day and dinner meals. Fast food may be in the vicinity if you prefer.
Weather: It should be a beautiful, summer day for “classroom” instruction in the shade and outdoor photography throughout the gardens. Be sure to check the weather beforehand, though, just in case it’s rainy or colder than normal for a typical day in the outdoors. It never hurts to dress in layers in case of unexpected cooler temperatures, and be sure to bring an extra pair of socks/shoes in case they get wet. 🙂
