CLICK! EXPLORING THE ONEOTA VALLEY WITH AARON BODLING: Getting to Know Your Camera and the Art of Photography
DATE: April 18-May 16
TIME: Saturdays 10:00-noon
INSTRUCTOR: Aaron Bodling
COST: $45 (no materials fee, just bring your own camera)
The first step in making a photograph is capturing the image. We will spend time each week in different locations learning about the different ways the camera can help, and even surprise us. Weather permitting, we will use mostly natural light and outdoor locations. As a darkroom isn’t necessary in this digital age, we will experiment with both film and digital SLR cameras, so bring any camera you’d like to shoot with. Our last meeting will include a group critique and preparation for our group show at ArtHaus.
