What to Expect –

Schedule-

5:15 short walk to pier
5:30-6:30pm shoot before, during and after sunset with instructor(s) giving feedback
6:30-8:30pm short walk back to studio, demonstration of editing techniques and hands on editing with instructors.

Plan and expect to get wet and/or cold, especially if it means getting a good shot. In landscape photography you need to prepare for any of the elements. Expect to have a pre-class introduction, where you can fire off any questions you may have as well as a little time for organized lecture before we go out to shoot.

Free-form class where you choose what to shoot and can ask the instructor at any time for suggestions and tips on how to improve your image. After shooting the sunset in and around the Oceanside Pier, we will all meet up back at the studio where we will then learn how to apply editing techniques to our newly taken images. Expect a fun and engaging night packed full of instruction and value!
