Participants will explore exposure compensation\, auto-focus\, metering\, and more\, while mastering important terminology and troubleshooting techniques. This workshop cultivates the skills needed to capture images with your unique artistic flair and is perfect for beginners and seasoned photographers alike. By the end\, you’ll confidently use manual settings to photograph wildlife and diverse subjects\, applicable across various camera types – DSLR\, mirrorless\, bridge\, and superzoom. \nAfter the indoor workshop\, Troy will lead participants on a guided bird walk near Concourse Lake in West Fairmount Park. Concourse Lake was officially dedicated as a Philadelphia Native Plant Park in 2012. With 142 native trees and 503 native shrubs\, the area will serve as the perfect backdrop for spotting birds while also putting into practice newly learned nature photography skills. \nINSTRUCTOR BIO: Troy Bynum\, owner of TB Wildlife Photography LLC\, is not only an enthusiastic birder but also a passionate wildlife photographer from Philadelphia\, PA. Troy’s work focuses on capturing and showcasing the remarkable colors\, intricate patterns\, and rich textures that are abundant throughout the natural world. In his work\, Troy draws attention to the oftentimes overlooked naturally occurring beauty found in the wild. Troy is on a mission to accentuate and celebrate the inherent magnificence of nature. \nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO: \n\nPlease bring your camera*\, your camera’s user manual (if you have it)\, a notepad\, and binoculars if you’d like. *Phones can also be used. Troy will have some binoculars on-hand for those who may need them.\nWe will begin with the photography workshop (roughly 1.5 hours) followed by the hike (roughly one hour).\nThe hike is roughly 1.5 miles in length over a combination of flat sidewalks and grassy areas.\nSince part of this program is held outdoors\, please dress according to weather conditions and wear good hiking shoes (boots/sneakers).\nPlease bring your own water and snack (drinking water is not available in the park).\nThere are bathrooms available during the indoor portion; however\, there are no nearby bathrooms when out on the hike.\nPlease wear/bring sunscreen and bug spray.\n\n\nPARKING/GETTING THERE: There is plenty of free parking available in the park. As always\, never leave valuables in your car! If traveling by public transit\, the nearest stop is at Belmont Ave and Belmont Mansion/Fairmount Park Drive – a half-mile walk from the start. The closest Indego bike station is at Parkside and Belmont Ave – also a half-mile walk from the start. \n  \n

Vibrational healing is the ancient art of healing with sound; it traces back to ancient Egypt & Tibet. Sound vibrations can heal the physical body at a cellular level by adjusting blockages and imbalances. These imbalances can cause the body to have a slower frequency vibration which may lead to dis-ease or illnesses. Natural healing sound frequencies can be transferred or introduced externally or directly into the body to create a more harmonious state.\n \n \nAt Black Lotus\, we combine the use of crystal chakra singing bowls\, gongs\, tuning forks\, and more to give a relaxing & transformative experience. We can balance chakras\, repair auras\, uplift the mood or help with grounding. Vibrational healing is a great tool for meditation\, alleviating stress\, and relaxing stiff or sore muscles.\n \n \nFor more visit: www.diasporaeducationalservices.org/black-lotus\n \n \nhttps://linktr.ee/blacklotushhc \n\n\n\nD IRECTIONS: \n \nB lack Lotus is not on Lincoln Drive despite the address…it is actually on Rittenhousetown Lane.
