Intro to Photography Begins Sept. 8 at Elawa Farm

August 29, 2013

While September seems to be way out there, our ninth month actually begins in less than 1 week!  That means there is still time to register for this VERY informative class that has been designed specifically to make your camera your friend. Join us in the Elawa classroom  on Sunday afternoons from 1 – 4 pm  and take the mystery out of those menus and buttons on your camera.  Each meeting combines class discussions, handouts and images with actual picture taking on the grounds. It all makes for great fun in a relaxed setting. Call 847.234.1966 to register.

Weekly Photo Tip

Take the center column away

A definite Sign of Spring.

If your tripod has a center column, you will want to remove it before getting down to photograph spring flowers. Even with a 100-180mm focal length macro lens, your tripod will be too far from the subject. There are two options: 1. purchase a tripod with a removable center column or 2. just purchase a tripod that never had a center column. Of these two choices, I’d opt for the first one.

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.
