Itinerary:

Do you enjoy taking photos when participating in an outdoor activity, but find that you're not always completely satisfied with the result when you see the pictures afterwards? Do you want to improve your composition skills but are not sure where to start? Here's a chance to learn from a professional!

Glenn Abuja, an outdoorsman and talented nature photographer, has much experience in this field - check out his website, Gannet, for more information. Glenn is going to conduct this seminar by analyzing your 3 photos, commenting on the pros and cons, and making suggestions for ways to improve the quality of your nature images. Please note that the reviews will be done for the benefit of the entire group, so that we can all learn from everyone's pictures, and not one-on-one.

We will meet at Timothy's, next door to MEC. If you want to come early and have a coffee and a bite to eat, I'll be there from about 6:15 onwards.


Required Items to Bring:
  • Maximum of 3 photos in jpg digital format on a memory stick or DVD
