Together Ken and Leona spend a good part of their time hiking into remote areas to photograph and study our particular mountain environment. Ken has also been involved in an ongoing University of California aquatic study of water mechanics and alpine fresh water fish at Castle Lake. Their field trip classes will emphasize discovery, recognition, and ecology. The Mount Shasta region is a fabulous area for outdoor and nature photography, both close-up and landscape. Using your own camera, learn how to take striking, imaginative, well composed photos of our local mountains, lakes and scenic wonders in panorama and detail.
Photo opportunities abound with fantastic views and gorgeous scenery.
We will be learning about choice of film and the functioning of cameras in both automatic and manual modes. This will include exposure setting using film speed, aperture, and shutter speed. We will practice composition and the use of depth of field and light in a beautiful natural setting. All participants will need to provide their own camera, good footwear and enthusiasm. Keep your eyes open to the beauty around you, for professional photographer Erich Ziller will be giving instruction on the techniques of outdoor photography in one of the most beautiful mountain settings in the United States.
