Wildlife Refuge Offers Spring Nature Photography Classes
The Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge will offer beginner nature photography classes this spring, according to instructor Kylie Wong.
The classes are designed for novices with no photography experience required. Participants will receive point-and-shoot cameras to use during the sessions and learn basic photography techniques including composition rules and camera settings for outdoor conditions.
Wong outlined several photography fundamentals during the presentation, including the rule of thirds for composition, experimenting with different angles and perspectives, and using leading lines to guide viewers' attention. She emphasized that patience is essential for nature photography, as photographers often need to remain still and quiet to capture wildlife.
The refuge will provide all necessary equipment for the classes and can print photos for participants to take home. Wong noted that expensive camera equipment is not required, as quality nature photos can be taken with basic cameras or even smartphones.
Interested participants can sign up through the events section of the refuge's website. The refuge also encourages visitors to share their nature photos on Facebook by tagging the facility's social media account.
