Photo students de MICHELLE WILKINSON THE TELESCOPE

Cotton candy colored sunrises, cloud streaked blue skies, and the stunning desert lead to some remarkable images for Palomar’s landscape photography class.

Each semester, the landscape class, taught by professor Donna Cosentino, takes field trips to different locations to take photographs.

trips. The first, in Anza Borrego, is set up as a test run for the larger second trip. For the second trip, they traveled to Death Valley March 16-20.

“The trip was pretty awesome ... I like how there was so much open land and different things to shoot ... there are so many places and elements of the desert that are very freeing,” said Micaela Fernandes, one of the photographers on the trip.

This semester, the class just focused on landscape.

Cosentino teaches many photography classes at Palomar and will be teaching a landscape and culture class in Fall 2016 that involves a trip to the Sierras.

“Most of the students had never been there before… It was brand new for all of them. That’s the part that I like, introducing people who have never been to a place and letting them get a feel for it,” Cosentino said.
