Day 2: Hands-On Field Photography with the Nikon Z6/Z7 (Optional, but highly recommended)
May 17th 9am-4pm
On the second day of our workshop, we will take participants to nearby Manitou Springs, Colorado and conduct a photo walk in the historical downtown area. During this session, you'll be able to capture creative images, explore different features of your camera, and have open Q&A with Jason & Rick. Following the session, we will return to the classroom to put together a creative montage of your favorite photos from the event, and provide image review and optional critique for each participant. This session is the ideal way to make sure that you have fully mastered the techniques and settings you learned in the classroom session on the previous day.
*There is a minimum enrollment of 5 students for this workshop. We will keep you posted and make a final determination by April 17th, 2020 if we are able to move forward as planned. In the event the workshop is cancelled, all participants will receive a full refund.
