Autumn Glory Photography Field Trip: Western NY & Finger Lakes

Experience the breathtaking beauty of Western New York and the Finger Lakes at the height of autumn.

This 5-week course takes you into the vibrant outdoors, where we’ll explore scenic overlooks, peaceful parks, cascading waterfalls, and other stunning locations within a two-hour drive of Rochester, NY.

Each week, we’ll travel to a new destination to capture the brilliant reds, golds, and oranges of peak fall color, learning techniques to make your photographs truly stand out.

Whether you’re working with Film, a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or smartphone, you’ll gain skills in composition, lighting, and creative use of color in natural landscapes.

The final class will be held in the classroom for a relaxed “show and tell” session, where participants can share their favorite images, discuss their experiences, and receive constructive feedback.

Level: Beginner to intermediate photographers

What to Bring: Camera or smartphone, weather-appropriate clothing, comfortable walking shoes.
