Fancy Camera Workshop – May 30th!

Hi Everyone,

I’m announcing the next date for my Fancy Camera Workshop… May 30th!

This workshop is for everyone who owns a Fancy Camera (one with a manual setting) and would like to know all about it and take much better pictures with it. If you want to purchase this as a gift to someone, I can mail you a gift certificate for the workshop! This would be an awesome Mother’s Day gift.

This will be my third workshop, and I’ve made some fun changes based on the suggestions from previous attendees. Here’s the gist of it:

AM: I will talk your ears off! We will cover the technical stuff and the fun stuff with plenty of time for questions.

noonish: We will eat lunch

early PM: We will go out and practice everything we discussed in the morning. I will have “models” for a mock photoshoot, but I will also have the attendees photograph each other. This will give everyone a chance to take control over lighting/background/composition and practice directing their own models, as well as give everyone some new pictures for their facebook profile

PM: I will show you all my images, pick a few favorites, post-process one or two images and then give everyone time to go through their images. You will pick two or three favorites, post-process them and we will have a group critique of everyone’s images.

Yes, it’s a really long day, full of learning, lots of laughing, sharing and more learning. I hope you are excited to join me! There are 10 spots open.

What is it?

A workshop to help you take full advantage of your fancy camera. You know, the camera you paid a lot of money for and have been using on auto, AV or TV and not getting the results you want (or should be getting) by using your M (manual) setting.
