June 20, 2018

You won’t want to miss the opportunity to expand your photo skills in this natural setting. A naturalist will provide a tour in the morning, then we’ll have lunch in the classroom. The afternoon will be devoted to exploration with fellow students.

olo Bog is a 47-acre floating mat of sphagnum moss, cattails, and sedges surrounding an open pool of water. Class will begin in the Visitor Center then proceed to a photography session during a guided tour of the bog. Time after lunch will be devoted to exploring the Tamarack View Trail which provides a longer, more extensive view of the entire bog. Students must be able to walk at least one mile. Limited to 16 students. Lunch is provided on June 21.

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.
