August: Private lessons are on sale-Save $25/hour

No truncated lessons. You choose the topic.

August is a perfect time for private lessons.

Here’s how they work: We meet at the Chicago Botanic Garden. The selected time is mutually convenient. You select one or more subjects in advance and let me know what they are in an email sent to jack@jackcarlsonphotos.com.

I bring appropriate written info which we discuss. Then it’s out to spots in the CBG to practice the topics. Each lesson is 1 hour and my usual fee is $125. The August Summer Special this year is just $100. Check your calendar, find a topic and send a note. Then we can arrange a time. It’s great fun. Weekends book out quickly so don’t wait to reserve a time. See you soon!

18mm, f8 @ 1/80 with 3-stop ND Grad

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.
