Photographing Fall Color Workshop

Class Overview:

As the days shorten, trees begin their stunning transformation into brilliant fall color. This is an amazing time to photograph at the Arboretum, but capturing that vibrant beauty can be a challenge! In this hands-on class, join instructor Don Tredinnick as you explore how to make the most of those fall days by exploring these concepts: 
 

• Planning your fall photography outing 
• Capturing the changing leaves 
• Camera settings
• ​Composition 
• Coping with the elements 
• Post processing 
• Landscape photography fundamentals 

Following the lecture, you will take a short lunch break before heading out on a photo hike in which Don guides you to all the best spots. You will practice the concepts covered during the class, with Don available to answer questions and offer tips.  After the photo hike you will return to the room for an image review to show off your work!

Please bring the following equipment and supplies:

• DSLR, Mirrorless, or high quality compact camera with zoom lens
• Prime or Zoom lenses
• Monopods or Tripod
• Memory card, spare battery
• Lunch or snack/beverage

Please note: Fall colors look amazing in the rain, so class will take place rain or shine! This class requires walking outside, on unpaved paths or uneven ground, for roughly 2 hours. Please wear sturdy shoes and comfortable fall-weather clothing.
