Learn to improve you landscape photos during this class with Greg Disch.
Landscape photography shows spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic. Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man-made features or disturbances of landscapes. As with most forms of art, the definition of a landscape photograph is broad, and may include urban settings, industrial areas, and nature photography.
Here is some info for the landscape class, I will get the others in the next day or so.

My program will include a lecture and hands on demonstrations along with some great advice and tips, even if you are a seasoned professional. I will follow up with a slideshow presentation and a Q&A session.
A tripod is one of the accessories that many photographers try to go cheap thinking they don’t really need one. With the high ISO and and improved noise reduction in modern cameras and software we can shoot many images without a tripod that we could not a few years ago. I am a firm believer in not using a tripod, unless I need a tripod. There are many times that I do need a tripod, and many of my images could not be made without one. When I need a tripod I need a good one, if it will not hold my camera rock solid, it is of no use.
In this program I will show you how to use your tripod for the best results and how to choose the best tripod for you and your style of photography.

I’ve been interested in photography ever since I was a young Soldier stationed in Germany in 1978. After retiring from a 34-year career in the military, I decided to move back to my hometown, Fayetteville, AR and decided to pursue my interest in photography and make it more than just a hobby.
My interests in photography include Wildlife, Landscape, Weather, & Architecture/Historical Buildings but I like to experiment in all other areas and have learned from some great photographers.
Although I’m still new at this, I’ve been the featured photographer in Our Ozarks magazine and published in Nature Photographer magazine. There’s something about wildlife in its natural habitat that is very interesting to me as well as capturing that particular moment during a sunset when the colors and beauty are only available for about 5 minutes, those are the photographs that fuel my passion. – Just Take The Shot!!
