Ideal for photo workshops and lessons in photo composition as well as strengthening your understanding of your camera controls, Corona del Mar Beach is a wonderful locale. Your Digital Photo Academy instructor will help you compose spectacular panoramic shots of the dramatic cliffs above the beach and dancing tides. This will include demonstration and supervision with shutter speed controls to get a sense of different visual effects of the water and also how to deal with bright sunlight burnout at various times of the day.
There are also to mood-laden environmental portraits of lone surfers on the beach from above or at beach level. Long lens examples of the surfer in action, including a dramatic backdrop of big foam crested waves make for portfolio-worthy images. Portraits of friends and family in the sun with the beach and water as backgrounds are extra flattering at certain times of the day with the enhancement of the natural elements blending in.
Each Composition in the Field class begins with a talk with one of our experienced instructors, and then you and your fellow students take a stroll through one of a variety of photogenic locales (in any of the 20+ cities the DPA encapsulates). There is street photography, magnificent interiors, farmers markets, zoos, landscapes, and more, photos of which are included within. These photos are a mix of student and instructor images in many different venues and cities across the United States and Canada.
You will have fun in the three hour session, learn to shoot strategically, get more interesting photos of the event, and walk away with a foundation to improve your photographs in the future, whether you’re traveling, or at a birthday party and everywhere in between.
