Learn to photograph the fall

PUTNEY - Join the Putney Big Tree Quest for a free autumn woodland photography workshop with Josh Fields on Sunday, October 2, 7 to 8:30 am. Fields, a landscape photographer from the Forest for Learning board, will give an informal photography workshop all about capturing unique and compelling autumn photos in the forest. Learn to photograph subjects from the biggest of trees to the smallest of mushrooms, and everything in between.
The workshop will be informal, with information based on the needs and desires of attendees. Fields can talk about how to find unique landscapes large and small in a woodland area, ideal times of day and weather conditions, composition, exposure settings, using a tripod or making do without, and more.
Kids and adults alike are welcome, with any camera. Participants can bring a camera phone, dSLR or film camera, and a tripod if they have it. The best camera is the one that’s with them.
Join Fields later for the free Forest for Learning big tree wander on Saturday, October 8, 3 to 5 pm. The Forest for Learning is partnering with Putney Big Tree Quest for a casual exploration of some areas in the Forest for Learning, where participants might find some particularly big trees. They can make no promises; participants will still need to do some exploring. Come prepared with some measuring and documenting tools.
Meet at the Forest for Learning, 24 School Forest Drive. Sign up at www.putneyforestforlearning.org.
