Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult Education

In the first live online class, we'll start by learning camera settings, aperture, shutter, ISO, white balance, and other compositional techniques critical to lighthouse photography.

On Saturday, 7/12, we will gather in person for the Lighthouse Lovers Cruise (3:30-7:30pm), through the Maine Maritime Museum, where we will focus on photographing the wildlife and lighthouses, sharing techniques and approaches.

Finally, we'll meet online the following week to discuss, share and critique our images. For beginner and intermediate photographers.

Note: Students must purchase their own Lighthouse Lovers Cruise ticket through the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath (appox. $63).

Please have a computer, stable internet connection, and your fully charged digital camera or smartphone for all sessions.

Preregistration required, with registration closing at noon on 7/9.
