The 1856 Kennicott House

Why not begin autumn with 3 Sunday sessions at The Grove, National Historic Landmark? We’ll explore the buildings and some of the more than 6 miles of trails that cover the property. Class will be held in the library of the iconic 1856 Kennicott House. This is the perfect time to capture the color of this natural setting with the subdued light of autumn afternoons. Cameras only, please.

Grove Autumn Photo Class

1421 Milwaukee Avenue, Glenview September 13,20,27 (3 Sundays) 1-4 pm

18mm, f8 @ 1/30, no filter

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.

Grove is GO for September 13, 20 & 27
