Learn how to take compelling and memorable travel photographs, which tell a visual story. Whether you are planning a trip abroad or if you’d like to get to know your local area better with your camera, this class is for you. We will discuss lighting, composition, exposure, equipment, travel tips, gear, and more. The Garden will be a microcosm for us to discover opportunities to focus on landscapes, macro/close-up, nature, local culture, people, and more.  The Garden is close to downtown Kernersville, and we may venture out together north on Main Street within reasonable distance. There will be an out of class assignment as well, photographing some of your favorite places in the Triad or beyond.  This class is best for the advanced beginner to intermediate photographer comfortable using a digital DSLR or mirrorless camera. If you own more than one lens, please bring it as well as an external flash and a tripod (not mandatory). Advanced Beginner and Intermediate photographers welcome.
