Winter Stargazing program

Saturday, January 14, 7 pm

Join us at Sugarloaf Cove for a winter stars tour. We will have hot beverages, and a campfire, so put on your outdoor winter clothes for a fascinating look at what's up there in the winter sky. Winter constellations and their lore, star gazing basics, currently visible planets, and unique celestial features like Northern Lights, will be our topics.

We will star gaze outdoors if conditions are right, or indoors via a fabulous projected computer program if the skies are cloudy. Bring a flashlight (covered with a red filter if possible) and plan on spending about an hour or a little longer exploring the night sky.

Free.

F-stops and Ice - Tips and Techniques for Winter Outdoor Photography

with Chris Sandberg

Saturday, February 25, 10 am

Landscape photographer Chris Sandberg (www.cksandbergphoto.com) will lead a workshop designed to help outdoor photographers improve their artistry and technical skills, with a focus on working in the cold and snowy Minnesota weather.  The two-hour class will focus on the two important parts of the photographic process: finding and capturing outdoor scenes that reflect the photographer's vision, and presenting those images in the best possible prints.  Topics in  the class will include:
• Avoiding the Obvious Picture
• What to take into the Woods (and what not to take)
• Going beyond your camera's program settings
* How to adapt to Winter's special concerns and opportunities
• Using Adobe's Photoshop Elements to produce great prints

The class will be appropriate for photographers of all skill levels, and will be held in the Cove's main Center.  Attendees will also have a chance to win one of Chris' prints of the beautiful Cove lakeshore!

The class will run 10:00 am till noon.

Space is limited. Call 218-525-0001 to register.

Cost: $10 per person to be paid on the day of the class by check or cash.
