James Corbett M.Photog.Cr., CPP, MDPPA-A.F.Ph., F.Ph. will be teaching Creative Expression through Intentional Camera Movement from 10:00-11:30 a.m.
Has the reality of a scene left you uninspired? Have you felt moved by colors, lines, or textures but found yourself sad looking through the viewfinder? Join this session to learn and practice in-camera techniques to create abstract images that capture the feeling of the moment. We will cover approaches to Intentional Camera Movement photography. Bring a camera capable of full manual operation. Any lens can be used. For the best results during our adventure together, a lens anywhere in the 16mm to 200mm range is probably best. If you have a neutral density (ND) filter, consider bringing it.
Entrance and Parking Fees have been paid for you!
