This workshop, taught by award-winning photographer Geoff Forester, includes explanations of the techniques and equipment used to capture good nature images, with an emphasis on how the casual photographer can produce good photos. Participants travel to the nearby Audubon Center and Massabesic Lake to take photos of their own, then return to the school to display images. Geoff demonstrates processing techniques using Photoshop.

Students should bring a digital camera (more than a smartphone) and wear comfortable clothes for an outing of nature photography. Sophisticated camera equipment is not needed
