The Magic of Holiday Lights Photography Workshop
Advertisement
Transform your holiday photos from simple snapshots into stunning, professional-quality images! Set against the breathtaking backdrop of our Winter Wonderland Holiday Light display, this outdoor, after-hours masterclass teaches you the delicate art of night photography.
On Monday, December 14th at 5:30 p.m. discover how to use framing, leading lines, and reflections to create depth in night landscapes. You will learn how to master long exposures, capture vibrant colors, and maintain razor-sharp details—all while surrounded by millions of twinkling lights without the crowds. To get the most out of this practical session, please bring the following gear: camera, tri-pod, remote trigger (if you have one), fully charged and extra batteries.
About the instructor: Ron Zimmerman, a self-taught natural history photographer for over 40 years, has taught workshops in Alaska’s Inside Passage and many national parks including Denali, Katmai, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Zion, and Bryce Canyon, to name a few. Ron is an award-winning nature and wildlife photographer and was on the educational committee for the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA). He has volunteered his time for photojournalistic projects in Brazil, South Africa, and India with many published images chosen for articles and books. Ron loves to dive into all formats of photography, everything from film and digital to smart phones. His love for nature, wildlife, landscapes, streetscapes, and people will become evident in your time spent together.
This workshop is intended for ages 16+. All minors should be accompanied by an adult also registered for the class. This workshop will take place on the Garden Trails, dress in warm layers, gloves and comfortable footwear. Registration is required; space is limited!
Registration for this class will close Sunday, December 13th at midnight. This class is non-refundable. If you aren't able to make it and would like to share your registration with a friend, please contact Wellfield at (574) 266-2006 to let us know!
