Class goes INTO the WOODS on Saturday

There’s still time and room for you to join us in the all-new Into the Woods class that begins this Saturday, September 21. This class meets on 4 Saturday afternoons from 1-4 pm. We’ll be in Annex 2 which is just a short walk from the main woods entrance.

Challenging light levels are everywhere.

 

Here’s the list of exciting topics for each week: Just Where are You Leading ME?, The Forest Floor and Above, The Sky’s the Limit, and Creating a Sense of Place. Of course there will be new handouts and powerpoints plus extended photography time in the wonderful, natural setting of over 100 acres.

To join the fun, just

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.
