2 Students needed for Grove's Autumn Class

Just 2 students are needed for autumn photography at The Grove, a National Historic Landmark site in Glenview. We’ll explore the Kennicott House, school, log cabin and other structures on the property. From 1 – 4 pm on each of 3 Sunday afternoons, we’ll meet in the Kennicott House to discuss camera settings appropriate for the area(s) of the week. Then it’s off to get wonderful landscape images from around the grounds.

To Register: visit www.glenviewparks.org/grove or email Kris Van Voorhis, Program Dirctor at The Grove. Her address is Kris.VanVoorhis@glenviewparks.org.

Grove Autumn Photo Class

I received a 3-stop, soft-edge ND grad filter from the Camera Clubhouse cats. They decided to purchase from Breakthrough Photography since I mentioned that one of my students brought Breakthrough Filters to a recent class and, on inspection, the filters seemed to be very well made. An ND Grad filter starts dark and fades to clear so the placement of the dark portion is determined by both the bright part of the scene and the photographer. This filter made quite a difference in holding down the sun in the upper part of the image. Check out the “no-filter” image and ND Grad image. The difference will amaze you. Please note: I have no affiliation with Breakthrough Photography and chose them only based on student referral.
