May 31-June 5, 2015 (Four Teaching Days)
This workshop will be held in conjunction with the Dillman’s Creative Arts Foundation and registration will be through them.
This workshop is designed for those who really want to learn to use their digital camera to its fullest potential. We will cover very basic info and some advanced techniques, as well as cover how to get out of automatic, and into creative photography. You will learn many creative photography techniques, correct exposure and good composition. Learn to transfer your images to the computer and basic digital workflow. There will be multiple location photo shoots, followed by image post processing techniques and digital workflow with image review and critique sessions.
Composition is basically the pleasing arrangement of subject matter and elements within the picture area. Good composition is essential in photography because the camera does not record a scene the same way that we see it. Our brain isolates information that it does not consider important, the camera however records everything, often creating problems with the composition. We will learn how to deal with these limitations to create great photos.
We have two eyes which give us the ability to see depth and spatial relationships. The camera records everything in only two dimensions which can cause further problems with composition in an image.

Let me help you to find a great location for your next photography adventure. I will list many lesser-known destinations, as well as the famous "Icon Locations" for photography. I will provide photos (Lots of Photos), location information, consisting of what there is to photograph as well as other information about the destination. I will give costs, maps, directions, contact information, and other essential information for a successful photo trip. I will only post for locations that I have personally photographed to ensure a quality guide to great locations for photography. If you know of great places that are not posted, please send me the details, I may just decide that is a place I need to go!
