Water Photography: Flowing, Frozen, Vapors

Use water's various forms to create eye-catching images in this online lecture and in-person field trip class. Learn how to use your camera's features, such as f-stop and shutter speeds, to freeze water's flow or capture its silky movement. Practice techniques for using reflections, taking macro shots of ice's fascinating patterns, and setting the white balance to get the true color of snow while opening up the darker areas of your shot. Discuss how to make an ethereal setting with steam rising in the morning sun, a great impact with a single water drop glistening off a plant or capture the beauty of billowy clouds in a Nevada blue sky. No matter the weather, find out which techniques are best to use on sunny or cloudy days.
