Great pictures are never accidents….They are created through the photographers' knowledge of their equipment, light, and the understanding of how to put it all together to create the best image.

Are you interested in Photography? Do you want to learn more about your camera and its capabilities? Are you ready to create more interesting photos? If so, then this workshop is for you. We will cover camera operation, photographic theory, and composition. Then, we will hike the trails of Starved Rock and practice what we learned. There will be ample time for instruction on how to use your specific camera and to answer questions you may have. We welcome all types of cameras and photographers from film to digital, point-and-shoot to SLR, and beginner to advanced, so don't be shy. We will top off the day with a shoot of the spectacular sunset (weather permitting, we've been lucky so far). We'll do all of this in the beautiful setting of Starved Rock State Park in Utica, IL. Cost is $100 per person. For more information or to sign up for the workshop contact Mike Bessler at 630-667-5174 or email mike@BesPhoto.com.
