Erica Harvey CPP & Johnny D. Sundby, M.Photog., CPP
Join Erica Harvey and Johnny Sundby as they explore Sylvan Lake in the beautiful Black Hills. Participants will learn all the tips and tricks they need to create stunning landscape imagery. The class is hands-on so bring your camera and tripod for one-on-one attention as we walk the one-mile loop looking for multiple compositions. At this time of year sunrise is early! So be prepared to be at the lake from 5am and shoot until 8am. Then travel to the historic Meeker Ranch to capture some of the local history of the hills as we explore this interesting and preserved homestead. The class will wrap up with a presentation on post processing, so you can get the most from your digital images. Your instructors are two of South Dakota's finest photographers. Erica Lane Harvey was recently named the 2017 South Dakota Photographer of the year (PPA). At Imaging USA 2018 she was awarded Platinum Photographer of the Year for her IPC case and was a Top Ten Finalist in the Grand Imaging Awards in the Landscape/Nature category.
