Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers!

We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in Edmonton.

  • New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month. And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next on is!

  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

  • What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

    Fun review of using camera basics in the "wild." It is easy to know there are different options on the camera but easier to try when someone is there to guide you along the way.

    This was a very pleasant experience. I learnt to take more time to really see a location and to use a tripod if for no other reason than to force me to slow down and think about what I am seeing. I wasn't too excited about the location or the time of day, but it was a good spot to practice skills.

    The Sierra Nevada is a bird photographer?s paradise. Traveling by 4x4 up the mountainside for 1 1/2 hours you are rewarded by an amazing assortment of birds. Fortunately, I turned around in time to capture this hummingbird, enjoying a sip of poinsettia!

    Title or Location: Griesbach
    I took this shot during a morning walk around the lakes and pond at Griesbach. I was enjoying watching the red-wing blackbird in the background puffing and singing while he apparently tried to get the attention of this female. We are new to the neighbourhood and I am loving the park-like vibe. I am also a relative newcomer to photography and was testing out a newly purchased Canon RF-100-400mm lens with my EOS R-10.

    I was soaking in the sun on a beautiful day with my camera and zoom lens when i spotted the dragon fly on the antenna of a car parked car close to my apartment. The vivid colors and the beauty of the moment was no lost on me and i immediately zoomed in with my Tamron 70-300mm lens. I was glad the dragonfly was in no hurry to fly away. I was all smiles when i looked at the end result. The bokeh effect and beauty of the dragonfly. My camera settings were SON

    This picture was taken by a large window, three pencils (RGB coloured) were laid on white card which was curved up in the distance, but the curve cannot be discerned due to the very shallow depth of field and even light, giving the impression of infinity into the distance ...
