Time: 9:00-12:00 ish Meeting at the Lagoon, but that may change so stay in touch –
Details: This class will be focused on the advanced beginner to the intermediate skill level. Please bring your gear including a DSLR and your tripod as well as your MANUAL. If you have any filters such as Polarizing filters please bring those. If you have a pop open diffuser, please bring it even if it is small. You will need at the very least the basic skills of photographer under your belt, that is to say you normally shoot in AV, TV or S, or M mode regularly or have a strong desire to get out of P mode. You should be able to move around your camera and know how the menu system works and how to use it. We will introduce ourselves briefly and then start to discover and unlock the tricks to a good composition and flower taking techniques. I will go over composition, useful settings. I will spend private time with each of you. I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. I will have extra filters, but as you know, they are lens size specific except the square ones which I will bring as well. We will upload our best image captured from that night to our group page. Included in this workshop is a post production workflow screen cast tutorial video, of an image I captured during the workshop.
Gear: DSLR, Sturdy Tripod, cable real ease if you have, wide aperture lens like a f/1.4, f/2.8, f/4 would be great but no mandatory. Also bring a zoom like a 16-35, 17-40, 24-70, 70-200. A few lens lengths would be great as we will be shooting wide and tight and close up flowers in the gardens.
