Workshops

Do you know what ISO means? What's an f-stop? Wonder what all those funky dials are on your camera? Why does that symbol keep coming up when you flip the gizmo-thingy? It's crazy how sophisticated cameras are these days. And you bought it hoping for fabulous photos, right? But it’s just not happening, and the manual isn't any help.

I can help! I love to teach photography and I currently have two different workshops throughout the year:

Basic Principles: This is your chance to learn what the dials do, which ones to fiddle with, and which buttons don't matter. Learn how to lock in focus once and for all. Figure out what ISO, shutter speed, and aperture is and how all three work together. Best of all, we'll learn how to take photos in manual mode. Yes, really! Manual!

Getting Artistic: Putting it all together to get really beautiful images, not just snapshots. We’ll talk about framing your subject in an interesting, artistic way, the rule of thirds, catch lights, and depth of field.

I will be holding eight workshops in 2010, starting in early January. The cost for each workshop is $35 per person, prepaid. We'll have models (not pets - that might be a bit too much to handle), munchies and drinks, and a great location. After an hour or so inside with instructions and demonstrations, we'll go outside to continue learning and practice, practice, practice.
