Digital Photography Live In-the-Field @ Griffith Park

Just the surrounding setting of the Griffith Park sign itself invites a variety of floral photo ops, from macro and broad perspectives, a great subject to practice Aperture Priority shots.

But don’t forget the moorish architectural shapes of Griffith Park, the round dome of the main building and a variety of framing perspectives from various openings from the interior space. Your instructor will take you to vantage points to capture lookout points that frame other lookout points for a visual metaphor of infinity.

There is also the option of capturing the famous HOLLYWOOD Sign off in the distance from one side of Griffith Park and a number of places for capturing compelling LA skyline scenes as well as mountain views from the wraparound balcony. To top it off it there is the roof top monolisth, where your instructor will offer thoughts about working with a variety of Rule of Thirds composition layout.

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.
