Dungeness River Audubon Center in Sequim offers photography class April 21

SEQUIM — “Topics in Photography” will be offered at the Dungeness River Audubon Center from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursday, April 21.

The class is one of four sessions that began Feb. 18 at the center at 2151 W. Hendrickson Road in Sequim. The next and final session will be May 19.

The class fee is $10 per session, and students can attend just one or both that remain.

No registration is necessary.

“I have wanted to teach an entry-level photo class at the river center for quite awhile,” said Powell Jones, the center’s executive director.

Jones’ love of photography started in his youth and grew with formal training at Central Washington University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in geography.

During this time, he completed a wide range of classes that focused on the art of photography.

Content will include:

■ Telling stories with photos.

■ The importance of individual perspective for one-of-a-kind photos.

■ The ability of any camera to produce great photos, from expensive DSLRs to point-and-shoots to cellphones.

■ Controlling the light entering the camera.

■ Challenging what your camera is telling you is “right.”

■ Taking a lot of pictures and not waiting for the perfect moment.

Class fees benefit the center’s educational programs.
