About the Course
Our natural environment is fantastic. It's filled with wonderful landscapes, beautiful intimate
scenes, and magical close-ups.
Join Brenda in this information-packed course and learn how to create landscapes that have depth, compositions that have impact, and how to see and utilize natural light to its full advantage, to evoke a mood, or a sense of place. Learn how to make personal interpretations of the natural world by employing impressionistic and abstract techniques. Whether you are interested in selling your work as fine art, incorporating the natural world more effectively in environmental portraits and wedding images, or simply celebrating the beauty you see around you, this course can give you the skills needed to achieve your goals.
Brenda is an articulate and energetic teacher. She believes that a 'hands-on' approach brings results, and works one-on-one in the field with students. She will provide useful information on
technique through classroom presentations, and help you apply those ideas in the field. She'll also offer advice through photo reviews of past or current work. Topics covered will include light,
composition, visual design, perspective, and color, along with panning, multiple exposures and montage techniques (for film and digital photographers both), and incorporating people in the natural scene.
Participants will need their own photographic gear and tripods for our field trips. Digital and Film photographers are welcome, as are 35mm and medium formats.
We'll be making use of locations nearby the college for our field work.
