Summary:
Capture the intense colors of fall foliage. This class will take us to Pomerance / Tuchman Park in Greenwich, CT.
Capture the magnificent lake side reflections of the surrounding fall foliage. We’ll then take a quick hike to some interesting architectural ruins and explore interesting angles to photograph them. There’s even an Italian style Trulli at the entrance where we can get some cool portraits of each other.What We’ll Learn
How to capture lakeside reflections in early morning light.
How to use a Circular Polarizing Filter to maximize color saturation and control reflections.
How to find interesting perspectives when photographing architectural ruins.What to Bring:
A digital camera and a polarizing filter if you have one. The diameter of the filter has to match your lens.
B+W and Heliopan have a reputation of being optically superior filters. I have had no problems with less expensive Hoya and Tiffen. As long as there are no scratches in the glass, used filters are a less expensive option.
A set of fully charged batteries.
A memory card with enough space to hold your work.Our Host:
