We will spend 2-3 sessions on photo safaris – taking pictures of beautiful parks and flowers, and we will use the results of these field-trips to discuss exposure, depth of field, composition, and to suggest improvements, when necessary. These excursions will be based on suggestions from the class members and the instructor. Programs such as Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop will be demonstrated.
