Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this photography class:

The best souvenirs from your trip are photographs of the buildings and gardens you visit. Combining buildings and gardens often presents a challenge. Learn how to create lead-lines in addition to using light, angle, and time of day to optimize your pictures. Classes will be held at the Garden and other locations. Dress for the weather. 

Prerequisite: Beginning Photography class or general camera competence. Digital camera (no tablets or cellphones, please) and tripod strongly encouraged.

    Reviewed by Dennis D. on 6/9/2019
    Our instructor, Jack Carlson, was very good. He arranged for us to have photo shoots at the Evanston lighthouse, Graceland Cemetery and the Chicago Botanic Gardens. Jack was very helpful in teaching me and the other students composition and lighting techniques. He also helped me figure out what all the features were on my camera and how to use them. I highly recommend this course.
