Winter Landscape - Peebles Island State Park - 9am - 2
We're going to explore a few ways to "see" what's right in front of us, what's ahead of us, and what's at the end of our horizons.
We're going to shoot from vantage points on the island and surrounding area to learn about framing dramatic landscape photos, composition, and the importance of being present in the environment thinking about the shot.

Buying Gear - Troy, NY - 9 am - 2 hours
Every January the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) debuts new photography gear and dazzles the masses with the newest, and best to arrive in stores in the coming months. As the weather (hopefully) begins to break for us and folks start getting out more to take pictures, now is a good time to look at gear, and navigate what's needed, what may not, and what separates the tools from the toys. This class is designed to help new Photogs navigate the market a little. Great for those new photogs looking to buy their first kits or upgrade.

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.
