Basic "digi-scoping" Photography Class
|
| |
Do you own a simple digital camera and
a decent pair of binoculars, or maybe
a spotting scope for watching birds?
If so, you already have the tools for
"digi-scope" photography, a way to take
telephoto pictures without a powerful
zoom lens. You'll be surprised at the
results you can get, either by free-hand
digiscoping or with a simple and inexpensive
camera mount adapter. Classes in this
innovative, low-tech photography technique
will be offered at Boyce Thompson Arboretum,
a 320-acre Arizona State Park located
45 miles due East of Mesa on Highway
60. Florida/Arizona nature photographer
Bob Ruszala will teach an informal walking-tour
class explaining the basics of digiscoping
Saturday, December 9, starting at 10:30
a.m. and there is no additional charge
or pre-registration; the class is included
with regular daily admission of $7.50
for adults or $3 for ages 5-12. For
more information, contact Bob Ruszala
at bobinezruszala@aol.com.
