Beginning Photo Class set for Monday Oct. 11–at CBG

September 28, 2021

Autumn colors waiting to be photographed.

Got camera questions? Want to get some wonderful autumn-color pictures? Well then, we have the perfect class for you. It’s Beginning Digital Photography that meets at the Chicago Botanic Garden from 9-12 noon on 4 Monday mornings beginning October 11. Don’t worry if you have a camera but no idea how it works because in this class we assume that you have no prior knowledge. Just remember to charge the camera’s battery before class and be certain to bring ti to class with you. That’s it! You’ll receive handouts during the week that you can read before class to prepare for the week ahead. Once in class, we will discuss the topic(s), watch powerpoints and then go out into the garden to practice using our cameras. It’s a great time–especially during autumn, so tell your friends to join us. They will thank you later. Note: Class is limited to DSLR or Mirrorless cameras, please.

Weekly Photo Tip

Who needs post?

Direct from the camera. Who needs post-production?

I bought a Fuji X100F camera since the V version was unavailable for much longer than I cared to wait. On my way to class at the Chicago Botanic Garden early one recent Saturday morning, I saw this highly symmetrical arrangement of flowers and plant material in the Circle Garden. With colors like this, what could possibly be done to improve the scene? The weekly photo tip for this week is actually this reminder: You didn’t buy a camera to spend more time at your computer.

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.
