Photography 101 – Discovering Nature
Learn how to get the most out of your camera in this interactive class while exploring the natural beauty of Indian River. Drawing inspiration from the Fall 2022 exhibition, Changing Nature: A New Vision, Photographs by James Balog we’ll explore the concept of nature photography at several habitats protected by the Indian River Land Trust while you gain hands-on experience with f/stops, shutter speeds and ISO. We’ll also discuss composition, color, perspective and imaginative approaches to photography to help spark your creativity!
