Mel
Tuesday, January 31st – 6:30pm to 9:30pm
Basic Landscape Photography - David Saffir instructor $79
Go beyond snapshots and lets get into photographs that really get that “wow” reaction! This workshop is about learning to make the right selection. Whether it is picking the correct location, the right time of day, or just the correct camera settings. We will also discuss basic composition guidelines and what might be the best angle or point of view. Please bring your camera, but it is not required.

Basic DSLR Camera – Mel Carll instructor $159 for all 3 sessions (Part 1 of a 3 part workshop)
This 3 session workshop will focus only on the camera.  We will start session 1 at the beginning with camera modes, aperture, shutter, and ISO, what these mean, and where they are on your camera.  We will also discuss how they work together to create the photos you are looking for and then talk about what to work on during the days between sessions.  This is a hands-on class, please bring your DSLR camera to class.  This class is not geared toward point and shoot cameras. (Part 2 will be held on 2/13 and Part 3 on 2/20/2012).

Dress comfortably. (Part 1 will be held on 2/9 and part 3 on 2/16/12).
