REMOTE LEARNING: Creative Use of Nature's Light in Landscapes & Cityscapes

Many nature photographers view light as one of the most important features in creating an exceptional image. An everyday landscape with an exquisite light may result in a more memorable photo than a breathtaking landscape without the benefit of interesting light! Yet, the more unique the light, the more challenging it may be to successfully utilize it to make an exceptional image. The most compelling outdoor photos are often those in which the light conditions are the most complex, such as sunsets and twilight, cloudy, rainy, misty weather and more. Learn photographic techniques that will help you achieve dramatic images in a range of natural light conditions.

We’ll learn how to take advantage of the dynamic range and tonal range of our camera, discuss overcoming digital noise and delve into using the histogram to achieve correct exposure.
