Walk: Improve Your Nature Photography
June 1, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Led by Michael Jacobson-Hardy
Meet at North Farms Rd. entrance
A walk in nature is always inspiring, but capturing that feeling with a camera is not always so easy. Join photographer and film teacher Michael Jacobson-Hardy on a walk at the Fitzgerald Lake Conservation Area to learn techniques for taking better pictures outdoors. Michael will discuss such topics as close-ups vs. distant shots, how different light conditions will affect the image, and how to edit your pictures using different types of software. All skill levels and camera formats are welcome, including cell phones and point-and-shoot. It’s not the camera that makes a great picture, but rather the mind and eye of the photographer.
Michael is the author of the recently published Walking with Thoreau, combining nature photography with excerpts from Thoreau’s writings.
