Digital Photography Live In-the-Field @ Mission Beach

Join our photo lessons at Mission Beach, which is one of the excellent locales in the rotation of many San Diego venues that offer terrific photo opportunities.

Lets spend some time at the beach as we explore the childlike wonder and stimulation it offers. Sounds, sights, water and light!

Mission Beach offers an amusement park, carousel, arcade, waves, flip-flopped beachgoers, and even a roller coaster! So much in such a compact place.

This location is loaded with color and light, so what better way to take advantage of capturing fun than a few hours at the beach with your camera!

Meeting Spot:

We will meet at the sea wall, on the ocean front side of Hamel’s, 704 Ventura Place (between Ocean Front Walk & Strand Way) San Diego, 92109. Free parking in the large lot on the other side of the roller coaster, or the parking lots across Mission Boulevard.

Please bring your DSLR or another type of camera that you use, a fully-charged battery, and the equipment that you can carry. You should dress for the weather, wear comfortable walking shoes, and carry a bottle of water.

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.

Please note: If a class must be cancelled due to weather or other circumstances beyond our control we will be happy to work with you to reschedule. If you should need to cancel and require a new class date, contact us. A $25 transfer fee will be imposed without a 3 day notice before the scheduled class.
