Enrollment in this class is quickly rising, but some openings are still available. Don’t miss this opportunity to photograph the natural surroundings provided by over 6 miles of trails. That’s in addition to those wonderfully photogenic buildings such as the Kennicott

Redfield Manor House at The Grove

The Grove’s Interpretive Center

House, Redfield Estate, log cabin, school and Interpretive Center.

Time at The Grove passes so quickly that we’ve actually added an hour to each photo class. Each Saturday morning will find us in the Program Barn at 8 am (not the usual 9) reviewing equipment and discussing the assignment for the week. Then it’s out with cameras so we will have enough time to concentrate on taking the best possible pictures.

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.
