Fall Workshops Announced: October 15th and 16th

Weekend with a Pro
Two Photographic Workshops with Acclaimed Nature Photographer
Anthony Gibson

After great demand and requests from the local community, Anthony and the Olney Arts Council are pleased to present two photographic workshops this fall in Olney, Illinois. Spend the weekend learning and working alongside Anthony in White Squirrel Studio and the surrounding area amidst the beautiful fall colors. White Squirrel Studio is situated next to the water on Anthony’s private property with over 100 acres of woods, fields, and water to explore. His private studio/gallery is equipped with the latest in camera, computer, printing, and framing technology, as well as having a number of his stunning Limited Editions on display. Do not miss this chance to learn from a professional Nature Photographer in his private work environment. Each class is limited to 15 participants on a first come/first serve basis, so do not delay!

Saturday, October 15th, 2011: Introduction to Photography

This is an introductory class for the beginner/hobbyist who wants to learn how to take control of their camera, as well as learn the basics of composition. Learn how to take your camera off “Automatic” and begin understanding exposure controls. Anthony will show you how basic camera functions like ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed are connected, and how to properly use them in the field. Even if you just use a “point -and-shoot” camera and are just interested in composing better images, this class will benefit you greatly. After a brief discussion in the studio, most of the class will be hands-on instruction in the field practicing these techniques with Anthony right alongside you. Anthony is familiar with both Nikon and Canon equipment, and will have his professional gear on hand to demonstrate for those who do not own this type of camera setup.

9:00AM - 12:00PM: In and around White Squirrel Studio with discussions on cameras controls, composition, and demonstrations.

12:00 – 1:00: Lunch Break

1:00 - ?: Spend the rest of the day in the field practicing and reinforcing the basic techniques learned.

PRICE: $100 per person Limited to 15 participants

Sunday, October 16th, 2011: Nature Photography

This is a class for anyone wanting to learn how a pro works in the field and what is done with the images afterwards in the studio. Anthony will be shooting in the field with you so you can observe his techniques, equipment, and eye for composition. This class is designed to be fluid and shape itself to the needs of the group. Anthony will attempt to show you what he looks for in compositions, light, and locations with the proper techniques and equipment to capture it. Then we can spend some time on the processing of your images in the studio. We will have no set schedule in order to take advantage of the best photographic opportunities and the individual needs of the group.

9:00AM – 12:00PM: In and around White Squirrel Studio with discussions on creativity and technique.

12:00 – 1:00: Lunch Break

1:00 - ?: Spend the rest of the day in the field shooting, working in studio on image processing, perhaps an assignment/contest?.

PRICE: $100 per person Limited to 15 participants
