Classes at Bob Jones Nature Center, Southlake
Introduction to Photography
This four-session introductory photography series guides students to progress beyond taking snapshots to creating
photographs. We begin by exploring your camera’s capabilities and learn how to manually adjust for shutter speed,
aperture and film speed. This series will also help you improve your understanding of exposure, composition, light,
depth-of-field, and perspective. Each one and a half-hour session includes time for creating photographs in and
around the Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve. Students need to bring a camera and the camera manual.
Students should also bring a tripod if they have one. A digital SLR or compact camera with manual controls is
essential for this class.
Upcoming Classes:
The next introductory classes at BJNC and Grapevine Botanical Gardens are scheduled for January,
March, and May, 2012

Intermediate Photography
This four-session intermediate photography series builds on the experience and skills learned in Introduction to
Photography. Each one and a half-hour session guides students to increase their knowledge of the tools and
techniques essential to creating photographs and to see the world more creatively. Students are introduced to an
effective digital workflow using Picassa 3, Adobe Lightroom and/or Adobe Photoshop. The class includes time for
photographing in and around the Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve and for critiquing those photographs to gain
insight. Students need to bring a camera and a camera manual. A digital SLR or compact camera with manual
controls is essential for this class, and a tripod and a laptop with processing software loaded will be beneficial.

Photography Workshops
All workshops are 2 hours in duration, except where noted. Each will include an overview
of the location, types and styles of photographs, and photography instruction specific to
the site. Workshops can be scheduled for individuals or small groups.
Solana, Westlake
The Solana development is a master planned complex designed by a number of prestigious architects. The
buildings colors and shapes and shadows lend themselves to some very interesting architectural abstracts. We will
look for and photograph these juxtapositions of angles, colors, light, and shadow. We will meet in the parking lot near
balloon A.
Train Depot, B&D Mills, Rail yard, Grapevine
The historic train depot, trains, and tracks provide many opportunities for landscape and still life photography. The
objects and the textures, lines, and patterns of the objects create opportunities to explore grunge and natural HDR
photography. Meet in the parking lot by the Visitor Information Center on Main Street just north of the tracks.
Botanical Garden and Nash Farm, Grapevine
We will start in the Grapevine Botanical Garden, the second largest municipal garden in Tarrant County. The venue
lends itself to flower and garden photography, as well as, butterflies and other pollinating insects. This venue is most
interesting with your macro lens and a tripod. Nash Farm has an old cemetery, antique farm equipment, and old barn
and other interesting objects. We will work on creative blurs at both locations. Meet in the parking lot at 411 Ball
Street.
Historic Downtown, Grapevine
A stroll down Main Street in historic downtown Grapevine has ample opportunities to photograph interior and exterior
architectural features of the Wallis Hotel, Palace Arts Center, City Hall, and other notable buildings. and sculptures.
These locations will provide opportunities to find different perspectives and to practice your photography under
various light conditions. Meet in Liberty Park, 215 S. Main.
Natural and Off Camera Lighting
Learn how to use natural and off camera side, back, and front lighting, as well as diffusers, reflectors, and remotely
triggered flash units to better understand how to effectively use light to improve your photos.
Depth-of-Field Studies
Using your camera and lenses we will explore how your depth-of-field changes as you change your lens length and
f-stop. At the end of the session, you will know your minimum focus distance and the apertures required to blur the
foreground and/or background or to have all in focus. A tripod is essential for this workshop.
A Day at the Zoo, Fort Worth
We will spend 1/2 day at the zoo looking for interesting and varied photographic opportunities. The Museum of Living
Art provides opportunities for low-light photography, the aviary with its areas of light and shadow has its own
challenges, the fast moving primates and meerkats can also be a challenge. At the end of the workshop you will
better understand the effects of ISO on shutter speed and when to select manual, shutter priority, or aperture priority.
Low Light Action, Polar Ice, Grapevine
Bring your telephoto and tripod and shoot in the cool temperatures of Polar Ice. We will photograph fast moving
hockey and figure skating under very difficult lighting conditions and through plexiglass. At the end of the session, you
will more thoroughly understand how to get the most from your equipment.
Get Creative with Water
Use water and liquids to expand your creativity. As time allows, we will photograph dye as it moves through water, oil
floating on water, falling water drops, and more. A tripod is essential for this exercise. Depending on the selection,
you will learn about front and rear-curtain flash, flash synchronization, and how depth-of-field and shutter speed
impact your results.
Creative Blurs
Take your photography to another level by effectively using zoom blur, rotational blurs, the monet effect and others.
Using Neutral Density Filters and Circular Polarizing Filters we will obtain the proper shutter speeds to be successful.
At the end of the session, you will see additional possibilities in the everyday and be able to use your filters to obtain
the desired shutter speed.
Beyond the Basic of Composition
There is more than rules of thirds to effective composition. We will use photographs and paintings to discuss how
curves, vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines and other elements impact composition and create tension within the
image and engage the viewer.
Using Photoshop or Lightroom as your primary Processing Tool
Introduction to the primary tools within in each software package to improve the quality of your images. We will cover
cropping, cloning, levels, curves, brightness, recovery, vibrancy, saturation, fill light, sharpening, noise reduction, and
more. At the end of the session, you will know the basics of processing and how powerful the software programs
are. This multiple session workshop is customized to the student or student group. Four 2-hour sessions are
recommended.
