Photographing Historic Structures: The Best of RMNP
Whether or not you have enrolled in David's previous seminars, you will enjoy visiting what he considers the best of historic structures in and around Rocky Mountain National Park. A brief introductory session (approximately two hours) will be held at the Rocky Mountain Nature Association Field Seminars Center on Friday evening. The remaining instruction and demonstrations will be offered entirely on location at historic sites within Rocky Mountain National Park. Because additional time following the seminar will be required for image processing and proofing, students who wish to participate in a follow-up critique will be given an opportunity to take part in an on-line discussion with the instructor during the weeks following this seminar. This workshop is designed for intermediate, advanced amateur and professional photographers who have an interest in architectural photography. Participants should be thoroughly familiar with the operation of their cameras, exposure meters, portable lighting equipment, and accessories. People photograph architecture for diverse reasons. Aside from the practice of architectural photography as an art form, it commonly is used as reference material/documentation for architects, historians, model builders, and artists. Often the techniques employed are specific to the intended use or governed by the sensibilities of the architects who created the architecture as well as the vision of the photographer. The styles of architectural photography are therefore diverse. Instruction and discussion will concentrate on various methods of interpreting architecture through photography. Respecting the fragile nature of the historic sites, we will try for low impact. Recognizing that photography is currently undergoing a technological transition, the instructor says participation in this experience will be open to photographers who use either film or digital media (or both), and participants should expect that discussion will include points of interest to each group. The total number of participants is limited to permit instruction to be focused on the individual student as well as the group, and the number of locations is limited to assure adequate time for each student to concentrate on the subjects as he or she wishes This workshop provides a unique opportunity to gain access to historical sites for the specific purpose of photography. You will be provided an historical overview of each location, and instruction will strike a balance between technical and artistic considerations. Participants are encouraged to keep a journal of their workshop experience. A small spiral-bound notebook that will fit in a pocket will serve the purpose. This is not a requirement, but it can be both useful and personally revealing. Handouts, including a bibliography, will be provided.
