NEW PHO110 Photos in the Field
1 session, 5 hours
Although you may have walked a location numerous times, you’ll
suddenly notice new details about your surroundings when you’re on
a photo-walk with a camera (or phone) in your hand. In this class, we’ll
walk together first, finding patterns, textures, reflections, shadows,
architectural details, and more. We will then split up into small groups
to finish the walk and meet back at the classroom after lunch (on your
own). You’ll view your photos on the computer, select a few favorites,
and watch a slide show of what your fellow photo-walkers captured.
You’ll be amazed at the variety of subjects that everyone found! The
location for each walk will be determined by the instructor about
a week before the scheduled walk, but might include downtown
Frederick, a park, an Audubon sanctuary, or a battlefield. An email
will be sent out one week prior to indicate meet up location. Any type
of camera is suitable for this walk, including phone cameras. Students
are responsible for providing their own transportation.
