"Outdoor Photography" class at Fall BOW Camp

Calling all women who want to become better outdoor photographers! Join Colleen for a 3 hour " Outdoor Photography" class at the next Becoming an Outdoor Woman camp in August 2010.

Any and all camera's welcome - point-n-shoots, digital SLRs, or film SLRs! Through a short classroom session, learn how to control key camera functions like ISO, f/stops, shutter speed, and white balance. Learn tips and tricks for better exposure and compositions. Then put your new learnings into practice during our field session around the BOW camp. The session will conclude with a constructive critique session of the work you do in the field.

Aimed to build confidence and get you even more excited about photography, this is the perfect class for those just starting out or for those who need a quick refresher on the technical aspects of photography.

Hosted by the Friendly Pines Camp just outside of Prescott, Becoming an Outdoor Woman camps provide women 18 years and older the opportunity to learn about the wild outdoors in a comfortable and relaxed camp environment. Their 3-day camp offers classes on various outdoor topics, nature hikes, special activities, and guest speakers.

Friends of Arizona Highways "Sedona Fall Photoshop Seminar"

Cost: $1,495

Your photo instructor, Colleen Miniuk-Sperry, will take you to Sedona’s most scenic spots for sunrises and sunsets during the height of fall color to gather images you can work with during lab sessions. You’ll rely on her expertise in the field to help you craft striking compositions and exposures.

After downloading your images to the computer, Photoshop guru Steve Burger will teach you easy step-by-step adjustments to maximize the impact of your photographs. An accomplished printmaker, he’ll also show you how to make great prints from your images. Lessons are taught in a casual classroom setting with scheduled lectures and free lab time. Each student receives a take-home copy of Steve’s Photoshop instruction book, as well as a 16x20 print of their favorite image.

This class is useful for novice and advanced Photoshop users, though students should have basic computer experience to facilitate instruction during lab time.

For more information or to register, please visit the Arizona Highways Photography Workshops website, under the "Sedona Fall Photoshop Seminar"listing. Class size limited to 15 students.
