Workshop Update
Thursday, June 19, 2008

There is just one week left before our workshop next Saturday! There are a few spots left for this great opportunity, so be sure to hurry and register if you are thinking of coming. While we may do another one in the future, the price or content may be different, so this is a great opportunity for those starting out in photography, for those wanting to increase their skill set, or for those who just want to take better pictures in general.

One of the reasons Kim and I decided to hold a workshop is that we have both felt that seminars and workshops have been the single best source of eduction for us in our own careers. I have not taken photography classes in a school setting because I always felt I could learn as much, if not more, through the hands-on component and direct feedback of the workshop setting -- and in a much quicker fashion. I still attend workshops because I always walk away with something new, with renewed inspiration for my photography and personal goals, and I always learn at least one thing that I did not know before. All of which have been instrumental in building my business and honing my craft.

Here are some of the topics we will be discussing next week:

*The best lenses for the least amount of money for digital SLR cameras (hint: it's not the one that came with the camera)

*How to turn off the flash and achieve professional looking results, even in low light (avoid the "blur" factor)

*The fundamentals of shooting manually (where the magic really happens!)

*Easy lighting tips and techniques to get the best results

*How to get the most out of your Point-and-Shoot (using ISO effectively, burst rate, and more - however we will only discuss point and shoot cameras if we have those attending with them - so far, everyone has a digital SLR)

*The fundamentals of composition (the rule of thirds, framing your subject effectively, reducing your background elements, and more)

*Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Tutorials -how to manage your workflow and make your images pop

*And much more, including time for open-ended Q&A
