This seminar is for any photographer who wants to learn more about their digital camera whether it is a small point and shoot or a digital SLR. You will also discover your own vision for capturing beautiful images of Alaska scenery and wildlife. You will have lots of time to practice your new skills out on deck as we pass some of the most spectacular scenery in North America.
You will attend five photo sessions (7 hours in total) as well as an "On Board Skill Building" session out and about on deck. You will also have the chance to participate in an optional photo walk while in Ketchikan.

What Equipment Should I Bring?
Cameras On Deck
New or old, you should bring the camera you want to learn more about. Whether you own a compact camera or a digital SLR, we will help you become more familiar with how everything works on your camera and how to create those once in a lifetime photos. Remember to bring along a spare memory card - one can fill up pretty fast in a place as beautiful as Alaska!
