Photography On The Water: A Hands-On Workshop

Part of Canoecopia 2012
Sunday, March 11, 2012, 75 minutes (exact time TBA)

Taking photographs from a kayak or canoe offers an excellent vantage point to capture the outdoors from a unique perspective. Learn about the latest products and techniques to safely use your camera in a wet environment. Then, we will get hands-on and explore the technical side of how to move beyond the “auto” setting to get better control of your photos.  Through the use of slide show photos, we’ll simulate the outdoors and practice changing aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to control the camera for various situations.  The simulation will be geared toward SLR users, but point and shoot cameras are welcome as well. Please bring your camera with fully charged battery and instruction manual.

Taking photographs from a kayak or canoe offers an excellent vantage point to capture the outdoors from a unique perspective. We’ll spend the time paddling a local river or lake and learning about photo composition, selective focus, macro photography, and the basics of taking great photos. You’ll also learn tips on how to safely use your camera in a wet environment. Bring your own digital camera and the camera instruction manual. No photography experience required. Canoeists and kayakers welcome.
