Digital Photography & Editing with Len Wagg

Details

Explore the undiscovered Eastern Shore with your camera and the guidance of Nova Scotia photographer and author, Len Wagg.  Take photographs of autumn colours, rocky coastal areas, the sunrise and sunset or the people who make their living from the sea, their boats, and their communities or wildlife.   Len will talk about finding and getting the pictures, as well as good composition, lighting, subject and night photography.

After you have the great photographs, learn about filing storing, editing and printing the final image. Each participant will get a CD with their images.

 

Award- winning photographer, Len Wagg, is columnist of "Pixels Plus" for the Halifax Chronicle Herald.  He has recently published another book, simply titled "Nova Scotia".   It takes a fresh look as some of Nova Scotia's much photographed places.
