Arctic Exposure 3 Seminars

SEMINAR OVERVIEW

Two Tracks

Arctic Exposure offers two tracks for different levels of competency. Both tracks cover camera operation and computer skills plus much of our class time will emphasize improving your photography/composition. All attendees may participate, at any time, in either the Core or Advanced Tracks.

Core Competency Track

For those individuals new to digital photography who want an in-depth look at their camera's features including the role of light, and optimizing image capture.

Advanced Photographer Track

For SLR users who know their camera well and want advanced workshops in image capture, lighting, digital workflow, archiving, and the more-advanced camera controls.

Optional Field Trips

We'll be going into the field to work on taking better pictures.

Bill will work with the attendees on analyzing the scene within the context of the Field Trip Theme. Successful photography in the field is not just a matter of following predetermined formulas, but of picking and choosing from an arsenal of technical and aesthetic tools based on the constraints of circumstances (primarily weather), time limits, quality of light, equipment on hand, etc. We will discuss lighting issues, appropriate camera techniques, and compositional tools that will help us make the strongest image under the conditions we encounter, taking advantage of the spectacular opportunities Alaska offers photographers.

$149 per person. Maximum of eight (8) people per Optional Field Trip.
