Do you own a Canon or Nikon DSLR and need help figuring out what all of this buttons are? Well, this course is a hands-on workshop designed just for you.
Take control of your photography. Photographer Melissa Jones (Nikon) and Brad Maxwell (Canon) will help you go beyond your camera’s Auto mode and master the fundamentals of photography using a Nikon or Canon DSLR camera. With in-depth explanations of each topic followed by hands-on demonstrations, you’ll learn the skills to take your photography to the next level, no matter what type of Nikon camera you use.
Join Brad & Melissa for a one-day workshop to get hands-on instruction on your camera. The workshop will include an outdoor photo shoot, weather permitting, on the Fayetteville Square.
This workshop is designed to work in tandem with the Introduction to Canon & Nikon classes in September 2019. The class is not required for the workshop, and vise versa. The class will provide a quick, basic introduction, whereas the workshop will more in depth. Separate registrations are required for both.

Interested in wildflower photography using any camera available? If so, then this class may be helpful as you seek to improve the quality of your wildflower and flora photos.
Joan Reynolds from the Ozark Chapter of the Arkansas Native Plant Society will be leading the program off with a presentation and discussion on spending time in the field to learn more about native plants, including discussion of non-native plants and habitat restoration.
In the second hour, equipment and techniques will all be discussed to help you achieve the desired artistic vision for your photography. The class will feature nature photographer Tim Johnson from the Photographic Society of NWA as your instructor. After the indoor presentation, if the weather is cooperative, we’ll use the grounds and wildflower beds around the Hobbs Visitor center for some hands-on practice and demonstration. Remember to bring a camera, any type will do, and a tripod if you have one.
