DESCRIPTION
Join Gerri Whitley to explore the creative possibilities of longer shutter speeds. Learn to master the techniques of longer exposures using your tripod and how to select shutter speeds to create stunning images.
Offered either as an in-person workshop on Sunday evenings.
The courses are structured differently so it is not possible to float between the two. Both are 6 weeks.
The In-Person Workshop is composed of four photo walks and two zoom critique/lectures. During the photo walks, you’ll meet at different locations around Chicago each week where you will learn techniques such as Long Exposure Photography, Neutral Density Filters, Panning, Zoom Blur, Intentional Blur.

Gerri took us to great city venues and modeled specific techniques like long exposure, panning, zooming and intentional blurring. On alternate weeks we would zoom to share and critique our photos. Before the class I wasn’t one to use my tripod very often, but I became more comfortable each week. Gerri is an excellent photographer, but more importantly, she’s an outstanding teacher because of her patience, knowledge and ability to explain how to get the most out of your shots. We all had fun, laughed, and learned new cool techniques. I highly recommend this class and I will probably take it again because I enjoyed it so much. I’m definitely a better photographer for having taken this class.
