Due to several participants canceling, we have re-scheduled our Workshop.  The re-scheduled dates are January 30th, February 4th and February 6th.  See the details below…

So, you have a really cool DSLR , a couple of lenses, but you are scared to take it off automatic.  You’re not alone!  So many people spend the money on a nice camera, but they just aren’t comfortable enough, confident enough, or just plain don’t understand photography enough to take it off the automatic setting.  Or maybe they use the different settings but they feel their pictures just lack the pizzazz that they saw in the view finder when they took the picture.  Whatever the case, this may be just the thing that you need to get started in photography, or take your photography to the next level!

The Basics and Beyond Photo Workshop is a series of 3 workshop sessions that will help you understand the basics of photography, teach you new skills and give you the confidence to help you get the most out of your camera.  The 3 night series covers “The Basic”, “Beyond the Basics”, and “Unleash Your Inner Artist.”

“The Basics” covers just that: understanding exposure; the camera and what all those buttons do; lenses and which ones do I really need; and basic composition to help add impact to your photos.

“Beyond the Basics” continues where we left off at the end of the first session:  getting the most out of your camera; accessories that you need, and some you may want; the basics of flash photography; and the basics of post-processing images in your computer.

“Unleash Your Inner Artist” is where we put it all together: seeing and controlling light; better people photography; the creative power of HDR photography; the power of the great print.

These workshops are designed for beginners, hobbyists and enthusiasts that want to take their photography to “the next level.”

The Workshops are 3 evenings, Thursday, January 30, Tuesday February 4 and Thursday, February 6 from 7:00 to 9:00 in the evening.  Cost of the workshop is $35.00 per night (separate), or SAVE $15.00 by purchasing all 3 sessions for $90.00.  All 3 sessions will be held at Mike Davenport Photography studios, 22911 45th Street, Bristol, WI.

So, here are the details…

“The Basics”  Thursday, January 30th, 7:00 to 9:00 will cover all the basics, from what is proper exposure, how to get it, the parts of the camera and lenses and what all those dials and buttons mean.

“Beyond the Basics”  Tuesday, February 4th, 7:00 to 9:00.  This session will go more in depth about light and how to capture it, and accessories that you just can’t live without.  We will also talk about some basic post processing and some different programs to get the most from your photos.

“Unleash Your Inner Artist”  Thursday, February 6th we will put it all together and talk about how to make great landscape photos, tips on great people photography and some basics on using flash.  We will also show you the basics of HDR, (“High Dynamic Range”), and how that can unleash the power of digital photography to make great photographs.
