Workshop in New York City! Friday, Oct 23
This year, in addition to family photo sessions & the PhotoPlus convention, I’m teaching a 1/2 day workshop in Central Park! This will be a FUN FUN FUN time for moms and dads who want to learn how to use their SLR cameras to get better pictures of their families & surroundings.
If you’ve got a nice camera but can’t seem to get off auto modes, this day is for you!
If your eyes cross when you try to look at all the numbers & settings on your camera & lens, this day is for you! (The numbers aren’t that scary, and I’m not saying that just because I’m a Math nerd, I promise!)
If you already know a lot about your camera (what ISO does, aperture, metering modes, shooting modes, benefits of different lenses, etc), this day will be boring for you. But, hey, if you want a refresher course and a fun couple of hours, sign up!
If you’ve gotten this far, you probably want some details, huh?
The workshop is Friday, October 23rd. We’ll meet in the park (details & directions will be mailed out to attendees) at 10am. You’ll also get a FREE Expo pass for PhotoPlus Expo, courtesy of Mpix, AND you’ll get a $25 Mpix gift certificate!
We’ll spend some time talking about equipment & shooting, then we’ll wander around using that new knowledge to create some great pictures!
If you want to bring your own kids as test subjects, AWESOME! You’ll just need to bring a helper to watch them while you’re learning.
After we’ve exhausted ourselves learning & shooting, we’ll find a nice spot for lunch. We can chitchat more and enjoy some great time with old & new friends.
The workshop is normally $250, but I’m keeping some spots open for early birds to get in for only $200!
Use this button to grab your spot:
You can also click HERE.
Click quick (say that five times fast!), these spots are limited! Oh and one other hint: coming with a friend is VERY fun, so try to find a friend who will come along with you! I’ve taught many of these workshops in San Diego, and the people who come with a shutterbug friend always seem to have the most fun. If you don’t have a buddy to come along, no worries! You’re sure to make some new friends that day!
If that link up there doesn’t work for you, that means the early bird slots have sold out.
If you’re yearning for more details, here’s a sneak peek at the subjects we’ll cover in detail:
cameras
sensor sizes
crop factors
prime lenses
zoom lenses
aperture
shutter speed
ISO
what your LCD will tell you
white balance
metering modes
drive modes
focus modes
REAL WORLD SHOOTING in different situations
shooting angles
ambient light
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE
and LUNCH!
I know that list seems intimidating to people who just want to learn how to use their cameras to take better pictures of their kids, but I promise I’ll simplify it for you! Once you learn how different settings affect your pictures and which settings you should set first, it gets a lot easier, and that’s what I’m there for! Plus, you’ll get materials (and some myFUNcamera pocket guides!) to take home with you so you can review the info later.
It’s going to be a REALLY fun day!
See you in October!!
