Industrial Landscape Photography

Industrial Landscape Photography

Saturday 08 July
KK River Trail - 10am - 2 Hours
We will be starting with an overview of landscape photography technique, how to decide what to take a picture of and how to compose shots, we will then move into settings and more technical challenges to get an idea of when the camera behaves best for landscapes. You can use buildings and other man-made structures compositionally in the same way other landscape photographers use trees and rolling hills. Wind farms, harbors, cement works, power stations, quarries, pylons and building sites are just a few of the industrial landscapes you can photograph. The industrial more grungy part of Milwaukee gives this opportunity for some nice shots.

    At first I was concerned about an outside class during the month of January, however Rebecca did a great job and we spent a third of the class indoors at the market. She is very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable on photography and how to use a camera. I really enjoyed her class. I

    Loved the River Walk workshop. Rebecca took us along the walkway of the Milwaukee River and found a number of excellent photo ops which included landscape, architecture and people as well. I definitely will return to this area during our varied seasons, looking for more things to shoot, and perhaps do some nightime photography as well.

    This was excellent! Rebecca's engagement and expertise were incredibly helpful. Having a smaller group sized allowed for more 1:1 attention, creating a much more powerful learning experience!
