SUMMARY:Grounds For Sculpture Photo Trek
DESCRIPTION:Nestled in the heart of central New Jersey lies Grounds For Sculpture\, a magical place where art and nature are always at play. At its core are more than 270 sculptures by renowned and emerging contemporary artists\, each thoughtfully positioned on meticulously landscaped parkland full of thousands of exotic trees and flowers. Many are life-size\, and so realistic looking that you will swear they are real people! Others are massive and fantastic to explore photographically. It is a feast for the senses! A highlight in the summer are the giant lotus flowers\, and the critters that make their homes among them. \nGrounds For Sculpture is the perfect place to learn how to utilize every lens in your bag\, creating grand landscapes and intimate close ups. Instruction will be given on how to look for and use the light to best capture the scene. There will a strong emphasis on how to create more compelling images with your lens choice and by varying your aperture\, as well as a strong emphasis on creative composition and more! \nThis trek is perfect for beginners and more advanced enthusiasts. Join us for a fun day of photography. No special gear needed\, although polarizing filters and lens hoods are highly recommended. More details on gear will be sent prior to the workshop. Additionally\, there will be a pre-trek class via Zoom\, where we go through what to expect\, camera settings\, a ton of images with tons of tips! \nGroup size is kept small so there will be plenty of opportunity for personalized attention. A minimum number of participants is needed to run this event. Early registration is highly recommended! \nThe cost of the workshop DOES NOT include entrance fee- Timed tickets are required and must be purchased in advance. In order to get the group in together\, I need my head count early.  \nGrounds For Sculpture is located at 80 Sculptors Way\, Hamilton\, NJ

SUMMARY:Shooting Sports Like A Pro With The Reading Fightin' Phils
DESCRIPTION:What better way to enjoy a summer evening than spending an evening at a baseball game? And for the photo enthusiast\, what better way to enjoy the game than capturing the action like the pros in the press area! We will have special access during the entire game to shoot in the press areas along the first and third base dugouts. We will also be able to shoot from a variety of locations throughout the stadium.

Don’t miss this fun and fantastic opportunity to capture baseball images like a pro! \nRegistration fee includes pre-trek zoom class\, admission to stadium\, press passes\, instruction throughout the evening and fireworks show! Also included is a post-trek image review. \nNote: the event ends after the fireworks display. Depending on the length of the actual game\, 9:30 will not likely be the ending time. \nLocation: First Energy Stadium\, 1900 Centre Ave\, Reading\, PA 19601
