Description

This workshop is part of our annual Arts Week celebration, a creative experience unlike any other. Immerse yourself in this class each morning, and then choose from among a variety of unique community arts projects in the afternoons. Learn more about Arts Week—and join the fun! 

This Arts Week workshop is eligible for Tiered Pricing

Photography is the language of light, composition, and emotion. Only by “seeing photographically” can you convey that emotion, express your vision, and create images that rise above the mere snapshot. “Seeing photographically” means encountering subject matter with your whole being, and looking beyond the obvious to discover the remarkable natural world around you in every moment.

In this nature photography workshop, Robert Rodriguez, Jr., shows you the basics of effective composition and the technical fundamentals of digital photography. Each day offers group sessions, slide show presentations, photo critiques, and time spent in nature practicing everything discussed in class. Mindfulness is explored as a way to connect with nature and bring the beauty you carry within you into your nature photography. You also learn the basics of digital processing and printing using Adobe Lightroom 4.

At the end of the workshop, you have the opportunity to make a fine art print of your preferred photograph.

This workshop is suitable for all ability levels.

Tiered Pricing

At Omega, we believe that the benefits of a holistic education should be available to everyone. We also recognize that what is affordable for some will not be for all. We are now offering Tiered Pricing* on select programs to help meet the varying financial needs of our community.

On programs where Tiered Pricing is available, select the price that is appropriate for you. This program works on an honor system. Keep in mind that the highest price reflects the cost of the workshop and allows Omega to sustain itself, whereas the lower prices cover only a portion of those costs.

This is the true cost of your workshop. Choosing this price helps Omega continue to retain world-class teachers and sustain classroom facilities.

Tier 2: $350 (Enter TIER 2 in the Promotional Code Box when you register.)
This is our partially subsidized price for those with temporary or minor financial need.

Tier 3: $275 (Enter TIER 3 in the Promotional Code Box when you register.)
This is our heavily subsidized price for those in need of deeper financial assistance.
