Guaranteed to improve your skills!
“But there’s nothing to shoot here!” It’s a declaration I hear all the time, and I’m going to tell you the truth – they’re wrong.
I’ve chosen some amazing local haunts that will prove to you there is beauty in Alberta aside from the mountain views. The prairie landscape in the County of Newell can also be quite dramatic with places like Dinosaur Provincial Park, the engineering feat of the Brooks Aqueduct, and even urban parks like Lake Stafford.
These photo walks are for all ages and abilities, from pros with DSLRs to people who use point and shoot cameras, or even their smartphone. Some topics covered during the learning sessions include beginner tips, what gear you actually need, an introduction to macro photography, how to create stunning skies, landscape and tips for getting better images of wildlife. Bottom line, you will learn how to improve your skills and create better images with the equipment you have right now.
