Back by popular demand! In this workshop, Greg blends his biology expertise and photography creativity to inspire attendees to expand their own photographic vision and better “see” the wonderful photo opportunities that surround us. Attendees will learn how to find patterns and rhythms in nature, leading to unique photography opportunities regardless of the setting and location. You’ll learn to capture images that tell the story of the natural world in a fresh and compelling way. Attendees should have at least a basic understanding of their photography gear. The workshop will primarily focus on using DSLR cameras with various lens sizes, rather than smartphone photography. Following lunch, attendees will be freed to wander Semiahmoo Spit to seek their own opportunities in this photography-rich landscape. Greg will be on hand to answer questions and point out photo opportunities.
