Through discussion and hands on learning, this week promises a whirlwind of imagery and education. With Nature being the wide scope of study, we will include Macro, Floral, Animal and Landscape. Content from these programs will cover camera strategies that you can apply regardless where your photographic interests may take you.
This week is packed with photographic explorations. Locations will be subject to change due to weather conditions. Planned places of interest will be Dallas Arboretum, Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, Japanese Gardens, Fort Worth Zoo and others. We will work on composition, how to use exposure to tell your story, picking the best f-stop, shutter speed and ISO to get the best image in the camera, selecting the best lens for each situation, and how to plan your shoot for the right light. Learn to improve your photography with hands on lessons and personal critiques. In addition, we will spend time looking at post-processing to create a more artistic look in your images with Adobe Camera RAW and Photoshop as the primary software.
Be aware that entry fees to paid locations will be in addition to your Texas School tuition.

“Bob, I had a great time at the class today. Thank you so much for coming and giving so much to all of us. So much information… so applicable to my photo business. Absolutely loved it all. The way you teach is very special. You have an excellent mix of talking about the info, then, before you overwhelmed us all, you stopped, opened Photoshop and explained it again while you actually did it on the computer. That and mixing in the beautifully timed humor just made the day fantastic. Thank you again!” – Stuart Hasson, CPP
