Description:
Cameras do not take pictures, people do. However, cameras
are not always easy to understand. Join REI Outdoor School's photography
instructors out in the field as we teach techniques enabling you to turn
everyday snapshots into beautiful compositions. You will learn to see beyond
your primary subject so that everything in the frame improves the image. We
will analyze numerous photographs as we discuss composition techniques,
including eliminating distractions, utilizing human subjects, and using leading
lines and the Rule of Thirds to create more dynamic images. Begin to shoot with
an eye that draws the viewer's attention into a vibrant and stimulating
photograph. Photographers of all levels using film or digital cameras are
encouraged to attend. Bring your camera along with its owner's manual.
Skills you will learn:
Learn to frame photos to achieve beautiful effects and to
go beyond simple snap-shots. Eliminate distractions, utilize human subjects,

exciting images. Learn about great outdoor locations for photos in your region.
