Our Travel Photography course will include brief reviews of the basics of camera-slinging, gear, and the aspects of photo composition that pertain to landscape photography. We'll also go on a class field trip where you'll have the opportunity to practice your "golden hour" and sunset photography. We'll also touch on Milky Way photography, because a stunning night sky can be a beautiful part of any travel adventure.

Included with the course are all the notes you may need to take. We already have that done for you. You will get a well-organized book with notes and information for each photography class.

This course runs only once a year, and it's possible that it may only be a one-time offering. So, if you'd like to learn to photograph the beauty of the great outdoors from us, the time to act is now.
