Description

On quite a few ACC trips (and after my ACC photo presentations) I have been asked about teaching
photography
skills. With the Vancouver ACC Exec’s support I am now launching an ‘Intro to Photography’
course. This
is being offered at HALF PRICE to ACC members. The weather forecast looks good and a great easy
to reach
wilderness location is Iona Beach, near the airport.
 
FOR THOSE WITHOUT TRANSPORT, there will be a pick up at Templeton Station on the Canada Line at
1.45pm.

 
Some of my images from this location (and many other Sea to Sky locations) can be viewed here:

– camera equipment to carry
– how to care for your camera / check before
use
– holding the camera / posture / breathing
– advantages of SLRs over compacts
– RAW or JPG?
– camera modes and what they mean: P / Tv / Av

telephotos
