Nature is ever changing and never the same. Join OM SYSTEM Ambassador Frank Smith for a nature photography workshop at Monacacy Park to learn about working with light, weather, seasonal changes, and wildlife habits that can be the difference in taking a picture versus capturing a story about nature and its ever-changing beauty. 

There are many aspects of nature that can be explored locally as well as around the globe. Knowing the best times, types of compositions, how to access the opportunities, and ensuring you have the right equipment is key to capturing the images you want. Camera equipment and knowing how to use the features on your camera also play a key role.  

During this workshop, I will tell you how I plan, what I look for on-site, and how I use my equipment to maximize my image. I will also share some tips on post-processing. 

Join us for this exciting workshop and unlock the secrets to capturing the ever-changing beauty of nature through your lens. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced photographer, there's always something new to discover in the world of nature photography. 

 

The top 5 topics covered during this workshop:

1 - Impacts of Light in Photography 

2 - Capitalizing on Weather Changes 

3 - Successful Composition 

4 - Curiosity & Creativity that Tells a Story 

5 - Understanding and Breaking the Rules of Photography 

 

Please note! You will need to bring your own camera and lenses. Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the time of year and weather.

What does Nature mean to Frank Smith?

"As a photographer, nature means an opportunity for creativity.  Nature is ever changing and never the same.  Being able to be in solitude, experiencing the serenity of nature and using my camera to tell the story of the image."
