PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Wed. June 20, 7 to 10 p.m.
At the Kanbec History Center

Photography can be a fun, invigorating and enlightening way to capture and 
share the world we see and experience.  The advent of digital cameras has 
made photography so much more accessible and at the same time, more 
confusing. This workshops is designed to explain photography in 
understandable terms in a fun setting.  We will discuss how a camera works, 
the difference between SLR and point and shoot cameras, and 
developing/printing options.  Since each camera has a different program, it 
is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL THAT EACH PERSON BRING THEIR CAMERA AND MANUAL TO 
THE CLASS.

We will also spend some time discussing the basics of composition, 
understanding what elements go into a “keeper” rather than a photo that you 
throw out.

Open to all levels, both digital and film cameras. Call the Kanabec History 
Center at 320-679-1665 for fee information and to register. The History 
Center is located at 805 West Forest Avenue in Mora.
