Wildlife photography class set Friday

Learn the art of “Photographing Eagles, Birds & Wildlife” from a local nature photographer during Illinois Valley Community College Continuing Education Center's Life and Leisure series of classes.

The one-day class (Class ID: 12732) meets 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 16. Students will learn the basics of wildlife photography, including proper camera settings and techniques for still and action photography, when they meet in the morning in Room CTC 216 on the Oglesby campus. An outdoor session in the Starved Rock area practicing techniques under the instructor’s guidance will follow in the afternoon.

Students will provide their own transportation to both sessions, and should bring a camera, long lens, winter clothing, hiking boots, sack lunch and water.

Instructor David Anderson of Ottawa specializes in photographing wildflowers, wildlife, and nature scenes. His photography appears on the cover of the Continuing Education Center spring catalog.
