You will learn basic photographic techniques on location. Camera controls, exposure, lighting, etc. will be discussed. Assignments will be given and critiqued at the second meeting.

Following the outdoor photo session, you’ll send Gerry email attachments of your photos for his critique. At a second meeting on May 18th from 1:00 - 3:00 PM, Gerry will go over tips and techniques for better photos, based on all the photos sent to him.
