Join our photo lessons at Ketring Park, one of the excellent locales in our rotation of Denver venues that offer terrific photo opportunities.
Ketring Park is a photographer’s dream. This idyllic location, with its 55 acres, offers many nature photo opportunities, from beautiful reflections to geese. There are small waterfalls, flowers, water abstracts, bikes, bicycle riders, fishermen, and great wood abstracts. You will learn how to use shutter speed and f-stops to capture the best images.
After connecting with nature, the class will step into the past by visiting the Littleton Museum, part of the Ketring campus. The 1860s homestead farm and the 1890s turn-of-the-century urban farm represent how people lived and worked during the early years in Littleton. Museum staff and volunteers, dressed in period-appropriate costumes, work on the farm sites and run the working blacksmith shop. There are six old buildings offering great architectural images, as well as some great texture and abstract opportunities. There is a period house, fully decorated, offering more photo opportunities.
Meeting Spot:
Ketring Park – 6028 S Gallup St, Littleton, CO 80120.
It’s all free, and there’s plenty of parking. If the main parking is full, you can park at the library across the street. (There’s usually enough parking at the park entrance, but it’s good to have a backup plan!)
Bring your camera
Each Composition in the Field class begins with a talk with one of our experienced instructors, and then you and your fellow students take a stroll through one of a variety of photogenic locales (in any of the 20+ cities the DPA encapsulates). There is street photography, magnificent interiors, farmers markets, zoos, landscapes, and more, photos of which are included within. These photos are a mix of student and instructor images in many different venues and cities across the United States and Canada.
You will have fun in the three hour session, learn to shoot strategically, get more interesting photos of the event, and walk away with a foundation to improve your photographs in the future, whether you’re traveling, or at a birthday party and everywhere in between.
