Intermediate Photo Class needs only one more student to run

June 28, 2023

Owl see you in Intermediate starting Saturday, July 8.

Ok, I’ve just learned that we can run the Intermediate class if just one more (at least) person enrolls.  This class begins on Saturday, July 8 and runs for 6 weeks until August 12. All classes meet at the Chicago Botanic Garden from 9 — 12 noon. To register, visit www.chicagobotanic.org/adulted. Then scroll down to photography. Just think, you will have your own small-group private lesson. Who could ask for anything more?

Weekly Photo Tip

Keep camera parallel with subject

When colors are dramatically different, you will want to keep the focus sharp across the frame. That’s a bit easier to do when you’re hand-holding the camera to grab a shot of a moving subject. Keep reminding yourself to find–and keep–that parallel for maximum sharpness. It works quite well for small subjects.

Keep camera parallel with flat subjects. F6.3 @ 320, ISO 200

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.
