Ijams Field Day: Nature Photography Workshop with Clay Thurston (Adult Program)

Recommended for ages 18 and up

Description: This class will help take your nature photos from ordinary to extraordinary with the knowledge of local Nature Photographer, Clay Thurston. Saturday morning will begin with a short discussion on some very easy ways to improve your photographs.  This will be followed with a questions and answers section, and then off to the woods to put these techniques into practice.  At about 11:30 we’ll return to review our photos. This class is for all ability levels and all you need is a phone with a camera to participate. 

Materials Participants Should Bring: Smartphone or camera, walking shoes, a journal to take notes, clothes for rain or cold, water bottle, sunscreen, and a snack. 

Information to Note:  Feel free to bring a tripod if you would like to, but what we will go over doesn’t require a tripod. Please bring a mask as they are required inside the Nature Center. 

Location: This program meets at Ijams Nature Center, and there will be time spent indoors before taking a short trail walk. 

No walk-ins will be accepted. Every participant must have a ticket. Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Ijams awards full refunds for any cancellations up to 7 days before a program, or if Ijams cancels a program due to inclement weather. 

Refunds are not awarded for programs with fees of $5 or less for any reason. Tickets are non-transferable.
