Photography course to be offered in October

The Kawartha Lakes Parks and Recreation Division is pleased to welcome the return of their recreational photography courses. New this fall, the ‘Creating Experiences through Photography’ course will teach photographers of all skill levels the fundamentals of how to create; rather than take an image. Participants will explore various examples, critique their own work and develop their skills and understanding.

This interactive course will consist of a combination of online and in-person learning. Online sessions will take place Monday evenings 7 pm to 8:30 pm beginning October 3 through until October 24. A final in-person session will take place the first weekend in November in which participants will have an opportunity to apply what they have learned to real world scenarios.

This course will be led by Rob Stimpson, an accomplished photographer who has achieved international publication, award-winning photographs and who has a love for wilderness. An avid teacher, Rob also instructs photography part-time at Fleming College and writes for northern tourism organizations.

Pre-registration is required for this course, limited space is available. Interested participants can learn more and register through the Kawartha Lakes Online Program Registration website. Please note, participants will be required to provide their own camera.
