Total Immersion Nature Photography Weekend Gibraltar Island, Lake Erie Workshop Leaders:
Come spend a fun and exciting weekend on Gibraltar Island learning how to take your nature photography to the next level. Intensive exploration session are combined with "use your camera" photo exercises and "go out and do it" field trips to give you the ideal photographic experience. Learn the professional secrets that turn average into amazing. In the exploration sessions, you will learn the steps that turn boring photos into beautiful , dynamic images. Minutes later you will be practicing those steps. You will receive individual, practical, coaching. Best of all, you will go home knowing how to create stunning photographs!
Workship Field Trip We will cover a wide range of topics designed to be useful both to advanced amateurs, as
well as newcomers to outdoor photography. Some of the topics covered include:
* Important camera note. To get the most out of this workshop you will need a camera that allows you to manually control apertures, shutter speeds, and ISO settings. You will need a lens that allows you to turn off autofocus. Any recent model DLSR (digital single lens reflex) or ILC (interchangeable lens compact), will be fine. If you have a full featured point and shoot camera that has the four basic PASM modes (Program, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and Manual) and makes them easy to use, you will do just fine. You can can order a copy of Digital Photography Exposure for Dummies here or pick up a copy of Digital Photography Exposure for Dummies at the workshop for $35.00
provided you contact Jim Doty two weeks prior to the workshop and reserve a copy. CLOTHING This is an active, "go outside and do things" kind of workshop. You might end up sitting, kneeling, or laying down on the ground to get the best photo angle so dress accordingly.
Workship Field Trip
If you are new to photography or have a new camera, go through your camera's manual prior to the workshop so you are well acquainted with its basic functions. Check out the PASM modes (Program, Aperture priority, Shutter priority, and Manual) and learn how to use them. Before the workshop it is especially important to learn how to change apertures, shutter speeds, and ISO settings in the "Manual" exposure mode. Try out the other modes too. If your camera has "mirror lock up", "depth of field preview", or a "live view" mode, be
sure you know how to use them. If your camera has a B (for bulb) mode, learn how to access it and use it (it might be hidden in the camera's menu section).
In some cameras, the Exposure Compensation Scale is always visible inside the viewfinder. In others it is always visible on an external LCD. With some cameras you have to find it in the menu system to access it or turn it on. The scale in this illustration is set to +1 (Plus One). Learn how to set yours for anything from -2 to +2 (some cameras have a scale that will go from -3 to +3 or more). If your camera allows you to set a "custom white balance", check your camera manual and learn how to do that too. If you have Digital Photography Exposure for Dummies, it would be very helpful if you look through chapters 2, 3, and 4 before the workshop.
