    nice lesson plan that gave talking points for instructor and students to expand upon in person. Photographing Union Station provided comfortable opportunity to explore topics covered in the talking points such as, light and shadow, lines and angles, thinking in black and white. Ample time to shoot on our own and then discussion before departing. Instructor was personable, listened to each student and gave individual advise or instructions. Lovely morning.

    It was a great evening to be out shooting the stars. Our instructor, Emma, had scouted for a good place to meet and succeeded in finding the right spot. Her instructions for successfully shooting the Milky Way were simple yet very effective.

    This class was great. Emma was such a helpful teacher. I took another class with a different teacher and did not get as much out of the the other class. Emma had a specific agenda she wanted to cover and ensured we covered those items, as well as anything else the class wanted. That made the class feel focused and helped me get the most out of it. I highly recommend

    Title or Location: Sundown behind the ASB Railroad Bridge (Armour-Swift-Burlington) Kansas City, Missouri.
    The ASB bridge is a vertical lift draw bridge over the Missouri River. Very rare. Only a few still working in the world. This bridge still rises for commercial barge traffic on the river. I shot this from my 3rd floor balcony. Canon PowerShot SX620 HS 1/160 sec, f/3.5, ISO 80LR for crop, blemish removal, and very light processing.
