Take Better Photos in Only Three Sessions. The single-most important route to great photography is composition. It’s not the camera, it’s your eye. Come with whatever you have -- from smartphone to film to digital, from amateur to pro model, composition remains the same! Knowing how it all works will change the way you look at the world through your lens and that change in perspective will be evident in your results as you attain an easy but radically different way to think about photography. The first meeting will be at BAC's Citizens' Hall in Stockbridge. The second meeting will be in the field at Hand Hollow (4079 County Rd 9, New Lebanon), and the third meeting will be back at BAC’s Citizens' Hall, Stockbridge.

(The meeting location for the second class will be at the main parking lot of Hand Hollow Conservation Area. There are two entrances. For the correct one, be sure to enter at the Beaver Byway: 4079 County Rd 9, East Chatham, NY. The group will meet in the parking lot. Do NOT use the Gale Hill Road entrance.)

(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class session due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled makeup date for this course will be Friday, June 23. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)

Beginning January 2023, proof of vaccination is no longer required for this class. Masks will continue to be optional, but encouraged for this class. Please review updated COVID Safety Plan HERE.
