We will be focusing on composition, panoramas, equipment tips and settings to use. All skill levels welcome!

This is a free-for-spectators event, and while this is a fundraiser for a community fundraising project, it is a unique opportunity for photographers who are interested in taking photos of show cars. There will be at least 300 different makes and models that have been carefully built, and the owners are very encouraging of your own efforts to preserve their creations! The challenges here will be to compensate for shiny surfaces such as chrome and highly polished paint (ND and CPL filters welcome), and there will be a variety of models with whom to collaborate with.

This unique opportunity concentrates on both landscapes and a landmark art-installation. The unique challenge here will be to balance color against a changing backdrop of the sky and terrain. The level ground also provides a nice panoramic view of the Sloan mountains.

Continue your journey in this intermediate landscape photography class! You'll add to your technical skills by capturing the impressive transitions of natural lighting at dawn. By taking advantage of the delicate but fast shift from Nautical Twilight to sunrise, you will learn the critical skills necessary to "stay ahead" of the sun, and yield dramatic results. After sunrise, we will attempt to capture some photos of wildlife at dawn (provided that we find some), but we will certainly use the early morning conditions to both experiment with, and expand upon your technical familiarity to capture color shifts in landscape features. SPECIAL NOTICE: This class is meeting much earlier than the usual 10 am start-time that you may have seen in the past. Kindly factor in the early start if you are interested in participating. We will gather at 6:30 am/0630 hours to hike to our vista spot, well before the sun starts to rise over the edge of the mountains. We will also have some time to set up and discuss the technical aspects in advance.
