Photography for Knitters -
Two days of photography amidst the yarn, with a field trip to a historic farmstead
A special hands-on digital photography workshop weekend for anyone who wants to improve their images of fiber related projects, and the world around them.
Photographing with the end goal of using your images online will be emphasized, but this workshop will benefit anyone who has a passion for both photography and fiber.
Time will be split between slide talks, demos, hands on photography exercises, enjoying the beauty of a Gibbs Museum, a historic farmstead, as a backdrop and subject for some of our images, and some computer wrok on the images.
