Get a jumpstart on spring by attending a nature photography workshop on Feb. 20, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at Iowa Lakes Community College, in Emmetsburg.The goal of the workshop, titled "Midwinter Thaw," is to encourage more people to get outside and become involved in nature. Topics include picking out the right camera equipment and its proper use; and marketing and selling your work.
There is a dramatic upswing in wildlife and nature viewing locally and throughout the country and photography is often the next step. There are many types of nature photography ranging from wildlife to landscapes. Close up views of a honeybee on a wild bergamot prairie flower can be just as captivating as a panoramic photo of a sunset over Lost Island Lake.
The workshop will be lead by professional photographers from northwest Iowa, including Don Poggensee, from Ida Grove, Stan Buman, from Carroll, Dan Ruf, from Spirit Lake and Bruce Morrison, from Hartley. They will offer insight into how they achieve success in nature photography.
The northwest Iowa watchable wildlife project will also be highlighted at the workshop. Currently, this project covers 13 counties and emphasizes the nearly 500 county conservation and DNR public areas throughout the region.
