Bare Bones of Winter: New Photo Class at The Grove begins January 26

January 8, 2013

Grove Trail 1.5.13

Grove Trail 1.5.13

I’ve listed this class and haven’t shown any pictures of The Grove. The most obvious shot of the iconic Kennicott house isn’t included since many of you have seen it while driving on Milwaukee Avenue. That said, I’m including shots of  buildings and grounds further east on the property. Ingredients for a good Grove casserole: Partly sunny sky, average (or above) temperature for January,  limited visitors, two un-committed hours, 6+ miles of paths, 1 camera. Combine slowly until thoroughly blended. Use camera to capture scenes for later enjoyment.

Please join us on Saturday, January 26 and February 2. We’ll meet at 9 am in the Program Barn for handouts, powerpoints, discussion and coffee. Then it’s on with the coats and off to the trails to practice the new winter camera settings while exploring the trails. Let’s make this Winter instructional photo class the first of those to be  held in each season.

To register, go to glenviewparks.org. Click on Programs then scroll down to The Grove and you’ll see the class listing.

Weekly Photo Tip

Take the center column away

A definite Sign of Spring.

If your tripod has a center column, you will want to remove it before getting down to photograph spring flowers. Even with a 100-180mm focal length macro lens, your tripod will be too far from the subject. There are two options: 1. purchase a tripod with a removable center column or 2. just purchase a tripod that never had a center column. Of these two choices, I’d opt for the first one.

About Jack

A classically trained musician since childhood, Jack Carlson always had the “ear” of an artist. It was only a short step to develop the artist’s “eye” as well.

The portfolio of this certified photographer reveals images that emphasize mood and composition. Their purpose is to present a feeling in addition to portrayal of person, place or thing. Sometimes that feeling is nostalgia; other times it is serenity.

Each photograph tells a story.
