| Sat Sept 23rd, 10am – 12:30pm | Workshop: Audobon Digital Photography Workshop I: Equipment and Exposure. Led by Phil Witt and David DesRochers. Cost: Members $12, non-members $25. Workshop 1 will review the basics of nature photography. Participants will learn what equipment can be used to achieve different effects. By the end of the workshop, participants will understand lenses, camera bodies (mostly digital single lens reflex bodies), megapixels, shutter speeds, f/stops, focal lengths, apertures, exposure histograms, and depth of field—and how all of these can be used to take good nature photographs. Although the focus will be on nature photography, many of the same principles and equipment needs apply to other kinds of photography as well. [NEW]

| Sat Oct 7th, 10am – 12:30pm | Workshop: Audobon Digital Photography Workshop II: Composition. Led by Phil Witt and David DesRochers. Cost: Members $12, non-members $25. Workshop 2 will focus on composition–that is, capturing the best image. The workshop will also begin covering the basics of digital editing. Although the workshop will demonstrate digital editing using PhotoShop, the majority of the editing techniques can be implemented in other digital editing programs. The workshop will be organized around three nature photography principles—light, composition, and moment. All composition and editing techniques, from the initial lens choice to the image capture technique to PhotoShop editing, will be geared towards achieving an image that captures those three elements well. Although we will stress getting the best image capture initially, sometimes Mother Nature needs a little help in the digital darkroom, so we will cover basic digital editing methods that can improve the image. The workshop will review examples from a variety of subject types within nature photography, ranging from birds to insects to landscapes. Participants will be encouraged to submit their own images for in-class editing [NEW]
