  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

    The training was excellent. I learned a lot, and Carlos clarified a lot of questions I had about what the different settings in Lightroom do. I would take more of these types of courses.

    I learned a lot about the interrelationship between light and shutter speed, aperture and ISO, all working in manual. I knew some of this in theory, but the hands-on made it real in practice. I'd recommend it for anyone wanting to break away from using the P or automatic mode on their camera.

    Loved it?more please! James did a great job of putting us at ease with the up close environment between photographer and model. He also made sure to get us in various situations that we will encounter or should look for such as framing, low light, back light etc.

    Learned a lot from this event. James was very hands on and even took time to look at my personal camera and helped me get to know it better. The hands-on exercises also helped understand the settings and how it affects the photos. Overall great experience!

    I enjoyed the event. I have never really delved into street photography and this was an informative way to try and get started. The teacher was informative and helped guide me to see a lot of shots I wouldn't have previously thought of.

    I really enjoyed this photo session. It was my first time shooting in studio, and John was really good at explaining everything such as light, light metering and backdrops... The models were also great to work with. The equipment used, lights, backdrops, etc... was first grade professional too.

    It was my birthday so we visited the park for fun and it was spring so there were lots of plants coming back to life after winter. And on that day the temp was 23 degrees which is rare in Nova scotia. So i decided to capture this shot against the sun to show how the life is coming back in the presence of sun. Sun = Life.

    This image was shot at Halls Harbour and our plan was to have it appear as if the model (Christina Shaw) was standing on water. She is actually standing on a wooden barstool. The timing was a bit off between the tide coming in and the sun setting. By the time everything lined up the water was up to Christina's knees. Just goes to show when things do not work as planned that you can still get a good image and share a lot of laughs in the process.By the time we were done I had to wade out

    This is a focus stack of 15 images. I ended up using a pretty heavy crop to make the result larger than life. Using a Canon RP and RF100mm lens. ISO was 100 1/125th of a second exposure, and each image was at f3.2

    On this dewy, fresh morning something compelled me to grab my camera and take a picture as sandhill cranes strolling gracefully through the front yard. Harriet pictured here is, as always, accompanied by Ozzie and their offspring of the season. They have been welcomed morning coffee mates for the last 12 years. The picture captures the calm presence and the dancer's restlessness of these beautiful visitors.

    The Great Reno Balloon Race was this weekend. About a dozen balloon are up and aglow before dawn. This beautiful one was my favorite. Most shooting were using auto white balance, cloudy, or 5600K to keep the yellow cast from the flame. I prefer a white balance which retains the true colors of the balloons, especially for this balloon.

    This bright little robin landed on a lichen-covered branch in my garden on a rather dull day. I used a fast shutter speed and a wide aperture to isolate him from the background.Nikon D610, Nikon 28-300mm 1/1000 sec f/5.6 Auto ISO 1800

    Title or Location: Northern California
    Location: Upper Glen Alpine Falls. I hiked to this location after sunset. The foreground is a single photo I took during the blue hour for clarity and sharpness. I couldn't wait for the Milky Way at this location due to high bear activity it was almost dark by the time I hiked back to the car. The Milky Way picture is a stack of 19 frames for noise reduction, taken a few hours later over Lake Tahoe, which is just a few miles away from the falls.Edited in Luminar Neo.
