Intermediate Photo Class is GO on 10.28

October 17, 2023

Wow! Small class, great time so join us.

Would you like a small-group lessons on Saturday mornings? That’s the Intermediate Class and it begins on October 28 from 9-12noon at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Currently, there are just 4 students enrolled, so it’s a perfect learning experience at a perfect photo venue. We’ll cover subject selection, lead-lines, frames, symmetry and finding photographic metaphors. It’s great fun and each week will find us in a different part of the garden. To enroll, visit www.chicagobotanic.org/adulted. Then scroll down to Intermediate Digital.

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.
