Photographing the Wildflowers of Cascade Head

We will commence our journey with an in-depth classroom discussion exploring the techniques and equipment essential for close-up photography. Next we will wander the forests and fields of Sitka and Cascade Head, capturing the natural beauty of wildflowers and plants. Through hands-on field instruction, you will enhance your comprehension of digital photography and refine your image-capturing skills. We will finish this workshop with a studio session dedicated to editing, printing, and a group critique of our favorite images. This comprehensive experience provides a prime opportunity to deepen your knowledge of close-up photography, offering both theoretical insights and practical experience in capturing captivating images.
