Photographing Heritage Structures – Old School Workshops
Do you have a really great camera but are sometimes disappointed in your final product? Do you go on trips and aren’t sure of the best way to capture the look of a city? This Saturday, Rick Hulbert, Architect and Photographer, will take you through an all day course that will fine tune your architectural photography skills. We’ll start by finding the best angles and lighting using the Marine Building lobby as a muse, then return to our office for demonstrations on digital editing.
