Aviation Photography

with Moose Peterson

Moose Peterson is well-known for his wildlife and landscape photography, but few have known about his passion for aviation - until now. Join Moose on location at the Florida International Air Show as he teaches you the finer points of "static" and "ground-to-air" photography, as well as portraiture and panning shots. Even if you don't share Moose's passion for flight, this photography course covers techniques, equipment, and camera settings that can be used in multiple situations - especially when trying to convey motion. In the post-processing phase, Moose shows you how to take what he taught you to shoot right in the field and get it through the digital darkroom quickly so you can get back to shooting. In Memory of Jimmy Leeward, Sept 2011. BUY COURSE
