Photography Made Simple Field Session: April 23-24, 2010

April 23-24, 2010

Take creative control of your photography by learning how to make your camera do what you want it to do. This workshop combines the best of both worlds: a condensed but informative class in the fundamentals of photography, and the opportunity to go into the field to use your newly-acquired skills.

Join J. Peter Mortimer, Friday evening from 6-8 p.m. for an instructional session that directly relates to the job at hand-shooting great animal pictures! You will learn about exposure, histograms, lens openings, depth of field and shutter speeds. You’ll learn when to use auto-camera modes and when to switch over to the “manual” settings for more control.

Peter will help you put all of this new information to the test on Saturday at the Wildlife World Zoo. Ask questions! Experiment! You'll then head into an afternoon classroom session where Peter will critique your images.  He'll discuss what's successful in the photographs and what elements need improvement, giving you even more tools to work with the next time you go out to “make” photographs.

After this one session, you'll see improvement in your pictures, and your camera manual will actually make sense!
