Digital Photo Workshop
with John Huenink
$40 Members
$45 Non-Members
Join John amid his current exhibit at the Art Center for an evening of Digital Camera help and hints. This is a time for owners of digital cameras who want to learn more about what you can do to create a better photo.
This is a class for beginners, of any age, and it will help your average pictures become a work of art.
During the first 45 minutes we will learn about perspective, unequal space, framing, the horizon, cropping, shadow, reflections and more. Perhaps we will even deal with a manual setting or two! Then we will take pictures outside and evaluate them. The students will select the best of the best and the winner will take home a 5x7 matted photo that John has for sale at the exhibit.
There are two dates to choose from:
1. Tuesday, Sept 15, 7:00-9:00 pm
2. Thursday, Sept 24, 7:00-9:00 pm
Call to reserve your space, then bring your camera and share a fun evening!
Contact Sarah Hess, Program Coordinator, for further information at 637-1041.
