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 discussion around different types of holiday light photography, and the camera settings needed for each type. We will then set up some decorations and get creative.

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.
