Photography

The art and practice of using light to create a durable image is evolving every day. New tools, techniques, and production methods create new possibilities to explore. BARN offers classes in the tools and techniques that can take your pictures to the next level, whether you’re using a smartphone, a digital single-lens reflex camera, or a film camera. You can explore how to see and capture the images that capture events, trips, people, or places.

Podcasting

A podcast is any program – digital audio, video, or both – available for download over the Internet. The growth of streaming applications and podcasting services has given broad access to these programs. BARN has a very active podcasting community and a fully equipped podcast recording studio with editing equipment. The studio is also home to the all-volunteer Bainbridge Community Broadcasting.
