SEPTEMBER 29, OCTOBER 6 + 13 — Saturdays, 1 – 5pm
Instruction hours: 12
Level: All levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced)

In this three-part class, capture unique photographs of autumn landscapes and foliage in the forests and vistas along the Blue Ridge Parkway and in nearby parks! Explore what makes a photograph of a place compelling, and how to bring a scene to life. Emphasis is placed on observation, experimentation, and learning to evoke the essence of a landscape. Topics include composition, depth-of-field, histograms, filtration, ISO, and equipment choices. Classroom time includes editing, critique, demonstrations, and image enhancement using Lightroom and Photoshop. Students bring their own digital camera (smartphone, point-and-shoot, or SLR) and should have a working knowledge of how to operate it.

Instructor Benjamin Dimmitt graduated from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL, and studied at the International Center of Photography in New York City, Santa Fe Photographic Workshop in New Mexico, and Santa Reparata Graphic Arts Centre in Florence, Italy. He taught for 12 years at the International Center of Photography in New York City and more recently at the Bascom Art Center in Highlands, NC. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the International Center of Photography and the American Academy of Arts & Letters in New York City, the Griffin Museum in Boston, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans.
