Sunday the 10th of October 2021
Fall on the Farm Photography Meetup - Ballston Spa - 11.00am - 2 hours
I am lucky enough to have access to a one time small family farm just outside of Ballston Spa. The property contains some old rusty vehicles, a barn, an old farm house, a hand water pump and a nice tree line that should be very colorful at the time of the meet -up. The owners were nice enough to allow to to have the meet up there, so the group will be expected to be gracious and respectful of the property.
Instructor: Brian Van Sise
$35pp open - requires 3 bookings to proceed

I can?t wait to join another meet-up with like-minded people and our instructor, Brian Van Sise. He taught us how to get the most out of our cameras and also encouraged us to explore subjects and scenes in unique ways. It was a great experience!

I thought it was a very chill atmosphere where you had an opportunity to ask questions and shoot freely with your camera. Kes was very helpful with explaining what we were looking for and very knowledgeable when questions were asked.

Tour was outside. Seeing real life unfold. While talking about composition, giving examples of it. Angles vs straight on. Working your own camera for shutter speed, light, focus. Taking only 1 or 2 shots, not 25 of the something.

It was fabulous. Instructor was professional but approachable, knew his stuff, and easily changed gears to give info to all of us at very different levels of knowledge as well as very different cameras. Great ideas and challenges presented. Perfect amount of loose structure but organized ideas.
