The warm and welcoming setting of the 1929 Redfield House will be the site of the “Bare Bones of Winter” photo class .  Built in 1929 and home to many descendents of the original Kennicott family, the house is near the start of the more than 6 miles of trails on the grounds. Don’t worry, we won’t be walking that far. Bring  a tripod/monopod, polarizing filter and a lens or two, and get set for two fun-filled Saturday mornings from 9 – 12 noon.
It will be great to see returning students and meet new ones.  To register visit glenviewparks.org/grove. Enter class #207290.

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.
