Meadowlark Garden’s Winter Walk of Lights features 500,000 lights and colorful holiday displays and is a special treat to photograph. Join instructor Corey Hilz for a special evening wandering among this vibrant and whimsical wonderland.
Our class begins with Corey discussing the techniques for night photography and how to best capture the displays and colorful lights. You will learn what camera settings to use to capture high quality images, with special attention on White Balance, ISO and Autofocus. Focusing in the dark can a challenge and Corey will share tips and techniques that will improve your focusing accuracy.
As we explore the Walk of Lights we will make creative use of perspective and color combinations to capture dynamic images. You will also have the opportunity to use camera motion to create abstract and impressionistic photographs. Throughout the class, Corey works with each student as they photograph to ensure a strong understanding of capturing lights and night photography principles.
This class is small enough where we can work with each person on an individual level so all skill levels are welcome from beginner to advanced.
Participants will need a sturdy tripod, a cable release or remote and a range of lenses from wide to telephoto (18mm-135mm or 200mm).
The fee for this class does not include the $18-$20 admission fee into the Gardens. Tickets are sold ONLY online and participants will need to purchase their ticket at https://www.novaparks.com/events/winter-walk-of-lights

What people Are Saying About Corey:
“Corey Hilz never disappoints! I have taken several classes with Corey and I always come away with more photographic knowledge and insight than before. Not only does he have great vision, he is also technically savvy, making him a guru in the field and in the classroom.
“I’ve done enough photo workshops to know that some instructors are good in the field while others are good in the classroom. Corey is outstanding in both! In the field he has an uncanny ability to show up just when you need his help. His comments are always constructive and nonjudgmental and he encourages you to try new techniques.”
“Corey Hilz did an excellent job of outlining the goals for the class, reinforcing some key concepts and adjustments relevant to the indoor environment, and providing guidance and feedback on composition. There was ample time to practice and Corey circulated among the group to review photos, provide helpful feedback, and answer questions. Extremely satisfied with the experience”
