Light & The Landscape
Landscape Photography Workshop
LEVEL: Intermediate & Advanced Photographers
(View Course Requirements)
You will begin to truly "see the light" after taking this hands-on landscape photography workshop.
Learn how to see the light from internationally published landscape photographer Mike MacDonald.
This in-field hands-on photography class addresses three variations of light that are
used to photograph the landscape: diffuse, soft sunlight, and glancing light.
The latter is the most exciting when the sun is just above the horizon,
causing a dramatic combination of highlight and shadow to make subjects explode off the page.
Light and shadows become subjects unto themselves, guiding the composition and the eye.
The photo to the right shows how glancing sunlit subjects are lifted off the screen, creating a
3-dimensional effect through the careful use of light and shadow.
(Gift Cards for this class are available.)
A comprehensive handout of the PowerPoint lecture will be provided.
COURSE AGENDA
The initial session begins at Mike's home and studio in Downers Grove, Illinois
(a Chicago suburb). You will receive a presentation that will teach you the various concepts.
You will receive a comprensive handout of the PowerPoint presentation.
After the lecture, we will then head out to a local natural area to capture
the late afternoon light and to practice the ideas that you learned. You will be
guided as you take pictures using these new principles. This field session
will last until about 30 to 45 minutes after the sun has set.
To make for a more complete learning experience,
there will be a follow-up classroom session on a separate date which is
designed to give you a chance to show off your newest work and to provide you with valuable
feedback and ideas.
The class will be limited to a small number of participants so you can get the attention you require.
The cutoff will be 6 students, so please register quickly to insure a spot.
Workshop Price: $149 Deposit: $149
