News & Events

Join the Edgerton Explorit Center to explore the wonders of photography over the next year! Tied directly to the work of our namesake, Harold "Doc" Edgerton, this program will explore in-depth the different aspects of photography including high speed photography. During various sessions students will use some of Doc Edgerton's own principles to replicate some of his most famous stop-motion photographs.

Classes will begin on June 13th and will meet one Thursday a month over the next year. Classes and subject matter are geared towards adults or mature children accompanied by an adult. Sessions will start with a beginning photography class in which you can learn how to more effectively use your PO &S (Point and Shoot) camera or a more advanced DSL (Digital Single Lens Reflex) camera.

Other sessions will include exploration of portraiture, candid, nature, night sky, time lapse, use of filters, open exposure photography and much much more. Photos produced by students of the class will be displayed throughout the year in historical Strobe Alley, which is viewed by thousands of visitors touring the center. Please contact us at 402-694-4032 if you have any questions or if you need additional information. Don't miss out on this unforgettable opportunity! Sign up today as class size will be limited.
