#892 – New Ottawa Photo Class: Winter Landscapes!
You asked and we listened!
We’ve been developing the Winter Landscapes Photo Class for two years based on your requests.
This year we offer Winter Landscapes again to help you:
• take better photos.
• learn to shoot in comfort in winter’s weather!
Ottawa Winter Landscape Photo Workshop
The first session is spent in the classroom looking at:
1. shooting techniques
2. equipment
3. ways to stay warm
4. ideas for winter photo compositions
Two outdoor sessions allow you two chances to try new techniques and tweak systems and ideas with support in the field.
The final critique session allows you to see other participants successes and to learn from everyone’s challenges! The critique is often the most valuable learning tool!
Dates
February 26 – 6-9pm – classroom preparation
March 2 – 7:30-10:30am – shooting
March 3 – 2-5pm – shooting
March 5 – 6-9pm – classroom critique session
