"winter" photography workshop

A while back I signed up for a winter photography workshop at the Dunes, thinking I would learn some new things about my camera. The workshop ended up not being so much about the mechanics of photography, though, which was okay. Instead, we got to look at a bunch of winter photos taken by one of the two staff photographers for the Indiana DNR, and he gave us a few tips, then we headed outside to wander around and take pictures of the winter scenery. Unfortunately for us, winter didn't exactly get the memo that it was supposed to show up, and it was sunny and in the 50s all afternoon. Sigh. Still, it was a fun day, and I got a couple of good pictures and even managed to strike up conversations with strangers. Progress is real.
