Session Descriptions

Rainforest and Waterfall Photography:
Discover the beauty of Silver Falls State Park and capture the stunning landscapes and waterfalls while practicing implementation of the “Five Questions for Better Images.”

Beyond Auto:
Modern digital cameras can take amazing images. However, often they do not create the best possible results in auto mode. Learn how to control your camera and adjust its settings to take images using your creative “eye.”

Flash Techniques for Indoor and Outdoor Photography:
When the natural light just isn't enough; discover the ease of using and adjusting the built in flash on your camera or an accessory Hot-Shoe Flash unit to control the light and create stunning images.

More Rainforest and Waterfall Photography:
Enjoy a short, level hike to Silver Falls State Park's most overlooked water fall. Along the way, there are many opportunities for rainforest photography to practice your skills.

Night and Low Light Photography:
Have fun discovering how to play with light at night or in low light conditions. Learn how to “zoom the light,” paint with light, or take long exposures to capture the night-time scene.

Photo Processing Workflow w/Adobe Lightroom®:
What do you do with your images after you've taken them? Where do you put them? How do you edit them to make them better? Learn the tips & tricks of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom® to quickly organize, edit, and display your images.

Close-up Photography:
Looking closely reveals a fascinating way of seeing your subject from a new viewpoint. Taking pictures closely offers unique views and details, creating a fresh perspective. To record this different way of seeing, we'll practice tips & tricks, and learn about the tools of close-up photograph and make a stunningly unique image.
