NEW 5-Sunday Intermediate Class starts 9.16

September 8, 2018

HI Everyone,

Your photo skills will take off to new heights.

Remember when September 16th seemed like months away? Well now that’s it’s only a bit over 1 week out, I thought it would be appropriate to send a reminder about the 5-week format Intermediate class. Each meeting has been extended by 30 minutes to cover the complete 18 hours of course material. Here’s the 5-week syllabus:

Intermediate Photography, 9-12:30, Sept. 16 – Oct. 14 (5 Sundays)

Sept. 16  Selecting and Focusing on the Subject

          23  Those Lines: Are You Leading Me On?

          30  Focusing on Frames

                                                                                  Oct    14  Composition

                                                                                            21  Getting it all Together, with a Browniefest, of course

Let’s get the band back together–join us if you can–as we use those camera settings while exploring other parts of the garden in early autumn.

As always, there are 3 Ways to Register:
1. Call 847.835.8261
2. Visit www.chicagobotanic.org/education
3. Membership and Info Desk staff are now able to take registrations during periods of relative calm.

Email any questions to me before class. Hope to see you soon.

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.
