About this Event
Each Composition in the Field class begins with a talk with one of our experienced instructors, and then you and your fellow students take a stroll through one of a variety of photogenic locales (in any of the 20+ cities the DPA encapsulates). There is street photography, magnificent interiors, farmers markets, zoos, landscapes, and more, photos of which are included within. These photos are a mix of student and instructor images in many different venues and cities across the United States and Canada.
You will have fun in the three hour session, learn to shoot strategically, get more interesting photos of the event, and walk away with a foundation to improve your photographs in the future, whether you’re traveling, or at a birthday party and everywhere in between.
Ybor City, one of Florida’s 3 sites on the National Historic District Register, still offers an abundance of scenic photo ops and powerful portraiture. Back in 1885, as Florida contended with problems with “cash flow,” the government posed a big import tax on Cuban Cigars. Not to be outdone, Don Vincent Martinez Ybor, came to the states and bought 40 acres to get around the taxation expense. He even set up improved working conditions and enough Cuban factory workers came along to help english become the 2nd language of the community. Your DPA instructor will lead you throughout this community and help to uncover the traces of this rustic past as well as the interesting modern sites.
Whether an interesting bug’s eye perspective on a sidewalk, a portrait of a local pooch or an environmental scene rich with history, the day will be enjoyable and informative.
The museum admission fee is $4 per person.
