Since I hosted the first workshop last fall, I’ve had many people contact me to see if I would be hosting another workshop, and the time has come!
Did you receive a DSLR as a Holiday Gift this year? Do you know how to use it? Do you know what the different modes mean?
“So now almost everyone owns a camera. Yet, of all the commonplace tools available to us, the SLR camera is propably the least understood and certainly the most under-exploited. All too frequently the average amateur will purchase a fine modern camera and proceed to use it for making the most elementary simple snapshots. This surely is like playing ‘Chopsticks’ on a concert grand piano.”
– Famous NY photographer, Sam Haskins
This is a great time to learn how to better use that great new camera…and take it off Auto Mode (you know, the little green box on the dial?)
The first workshop, “It’s NOT the camera” is designed to take place in person, for approximately 3.5 hours. It includes hands-on guidance, a curriculum that will cover the components of your camera, and the basics of understanding the ever-important exposure triangle. You will walk away with confidence and understanding on how to take your camera off Auto mode and understand more about how to take better photographs.
***It is VERY important to note that this course will not be covering any information about starting a photography business, advanced photography, or Photoshop (or other editing programs) instruction; rather, it is focused on the everyday shooting aspect of documenting your life. Participants must sign a non-compete agreement stating that they will not offer a similar course or start a photography business within one year of completing the course.***
