I provide two types of learning sessions REGULAR and EXTENDED.
Typically, beginners in photography, require a refresher in light and how it works in a camera.

All lessons are HANDS ON.
REGULAR lessons are charged at $85 for a 1 hour session.
EXTENDED lessons are charged at $110 for a 1 - 1.5 hour session.
By providing a HANDS ON learning session, often 1-on-1 but no more than 3 persons at a time, learning becomes a more personal experience and questions are able to be answered in greater detail.

NO large class sizes here... Contact to make arrangements.

REGULAR LESSONS
- Camera modes - Auto, aperture priority (AV/A), shutter priority(TV/S), manual, sports, landscape, close up, portrait mode
- Everyday shooting - What to look for and how to shoot it
- Composition - Don't just stand there! Learn how to "see" a photo just about anywhere!
- Long Exposure - Make people disappear.. or turn them into ghostly apparitions
- Lenses - You have the ability to add just about any lens to your new camera, you now need to understand what you need and why – don’t make that purchase just yet
- Lighting - Probably the single most important aspect of any art form
- Shooting towards the Sun - NEVER SHOOT DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN! But have you ever wanted to be able to get a properly exposed image in very bright conditions, and instead ended up with a silhouette? Or maybe you want a silhouette, and don’t know how to achieve one?
- Informal Portraits/Candid - sometimes the best shots are the unexpected or non-posed

EXTENDED/ADVANCED LESSONS
- Digital Imaging - Touching on uploading to a PC and using LightRoom/other editing software
- What are all these buttons for? I can help you discover what some of the features and functions actually do and when it is best to use them.
- Black and White Photography - Timeless!
- HDR Photography - How to make snow or sand (or anything light in shade) ALONG WITH dark shades to appear correctly exposed, on a single image – think indoor shots where the outside window view is not lost…
- Flash Photography - Understand how the light works and how you can control it
- Night Time, Fireworks and Astro imaging - Get those cool star trails and fireworks photos you've been dying to show off to your friends. You can also do photography at night without a flash!
- Cleaning and maintenance - With DSLRs comes dust. Plus you may find yourself getting down and dirty now that you know what to do to get those special shots
- Any other lesson not detailed in the STANDARD area, or involving travelling to your site or another location.
A $10 trip charge may apply.
