Photography is a simple way to capture the beauty of the world around you.  Students will photograph elements of nature outside, and then return back inside to review their images with classmates. Indoor photography projects are an option dependent on weather. This class is intended for both DSLR and smartphone users and can be tailored to your personal interests and aims.  Prerequisite checklist available for download above.
