Ohio State University is again offering the photography workshop “Capturing the Wonder of the Outdoors”.  Spend a fun and exciting weekend on Lake Erie’s Gibraltar Island while learning to take your outdoor photography to the next level. The workshop is August 10-12, 2012 and there is still time to register.

You’ll receive both one-on-one “real time” instruction in the field, as well as intensive classroom preparation. In the classroom sessions, you will learn the simple steps that make the difference between ordinary snapshots and extraordinary photos. Minutes later you will be outside practicing those steps with the help of the workshop instructors. You will receive individual, practical, coaching. Best of all, you will go home knowing how to create eye-catching images!
