his session kicks off with a dramatic photographic presentation that sets the stage for an exciting, fun-filled day of creative exploration. The indoor workshop covers the creative basics of outdoor/nature photography, including the use of tools like lenses, extension tubes, and filters; creative variables like composition, exposure, and contrast; and balancing natural and artificial light. You’ll acquire a new perspective on the art of photography that will both prepare you and free you to create exciting and moving images.
atàâÜx XåÑÉáxw PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 9 A.M.—2 P.M. Mississippi Museum of Natural Science Lower Classroom $90 per person
Learn how to take a shot from average to award-winning through the use of different lenses, compositions, or lighting, or by simply waiting five minutes or moving five inches. All instruction in this session is illustrated with nature and wildlife shots that demonstrate the dramatic difference a few creative choices can make in an image. Along with these things you will also get several photo assignments from Mr. Kirkpatrick that will help you “see” differently and challenge your creative vision. These assignments will stretch your photographic skills and help you find new approaches to solve a photographic “creative block.”

APRIL 6, 2013
by grizzly bears, attacked by alligators, and nibbled by piranha. In the process, he’s captured some of the world’s most beautiful and exciting nature and wildlife photography. Kirkpatrick’s appreciate of nature began in childhood, when he divided his time between caring for a menagerie of unusual “pets” and operating a snake farm in his parents’ backyard (admission $.50). His fascination with nature became a full time career when his father gave Kirkpatrick his first camera in 1981.
