Running Water at Bulls Bridge, Route 7, with Kyle Perler

There is something magical about photographing water. Join us for this fun play date. Challenge yourself to photograph moving water, often a difficult subject. Learn about exposures, histograms, using neutral density filters, time-lapse exposures, and lighting. Kyle will teach you how to select  your cameras features, such as f-stops, shutter speeds, and focal planes in order to photograph water like the masters used to. Kyle will demonstrate compositional techniques with a traditional large format camera. Please bring a tripod if you have one.
