Minnetonka Community Education

Learn how to take photos that tell a story, show emotion, or create a reminder of an important event. Explore photography in nature, moving objects, urban environments and people. Digital camera required.

They say a story is worth a 1000 words. We will explore photographing nature, moving subjects, urban environments, and people. Each session will consist of a 15-30 minutes of an instructional period followed by 60 minutes for shooting. We will then conclude with a 15-30 minute review of the images that were captured during the shoot. 

We will begin with a demonstration of how to capture interesting photos of clear objects placed over multicolored backgrounds and tablets. Once the demonstration is over, everyone will get to experiment with this technique to create unique abstract photos.

Equipment needed:

1. Any digital camera that allows for manual setting of aperture, iso, and shutter speed. 

2. Tripod 

3. Comfortable footwear since we will be walking around and standing during the shooting portion of the program.
