Introduction to Nikon Cameras with Melissa Jones

New to Nikon photography? Get the ins and outs of the Nikon camera line with this special class and workshop.

We’ll start with a class that provides a general rundown of Nikon cameras, their menus and what basic functions photographers need to know to start getting great photos! Then on Saturday, Sept. 22, go in-depth with your Nikon camera in a day-long workshop designed to give you hands-on, one-on-one training with your camera. We’ll explore some of the “hidden” features of the cameras, plus a few essentials and a couple of tricks to take you out of Auto mode and into options that create stunning photography.

The class is not required for the workshop, and vise versa. The class will provide a quick, basic introduction, whereas the workshop will more in depth. Separate registrations are required for both.

Interested in wildflower photography using any camera available? If so, then this class may be helpful as you seek to improve the quality of your wildflower and flora photos.
Joan Reynolds from the Ozark Chapter of the Arkansas Native Plant Society will be leading the program off with a presentation and discussion on spending time in the field to learn more about native plants, including discussion of non-native plants and habitat restoration.
In the second hour, equipment and techniques will all be discussed to help you achieve the desired artistic vision for your photography. The class will feature nature photographer Tim Johnson from the Photographic Society of NWA as your instructor. After the indoor presentation, if the weather is cooperative, we’ll use the grounds and wildflower beds around the Hobbs Visitor center for some hands-on practice and demonstration. Remember to bring a camera, any type will do, and a tripod if you have one.
