The historic river towns in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa always make for great subjects. Show up after dark, and you can get some really fun and interesting photos. The great thing is that these locations also tend to be very safe to explore. During this outing, Don will cover the following topics:

Working with available light.

Using shadow to create drama in a photo.

Simplifying compositions to direct the viewer.

Using zoom and camera movement to create abstract photos.

Photographing people in night scenes without using flash.

For this program, you will need either a DSLR or Mirrorless camera, a lens or lenses that cover a range from 24mm to 70mm. (The kit lens that came with your camera will work nicely.). You will also need a tripod. (Make sure that you have all the connecting hardware to attach your camera to a tripod.). Optionally, having a wired or wireless shutter release for your camera can make things easier, but we can work around this using self-timer mode if needed.
