Description

If you ever took a photograph and wondered why you weren’t satisfied with it, then this is the workshop for you. With different photo locations every day such as botanical gardens, nature preserves, Delray Beach, and the ocean you can exercise the creative techniques that you learned in the morning. Daily individual photo reviews, and creative exercises will help you to refine your attention to detail, composition and lighting, and help demonstrate how your pictures affect both you and others. We will explain the camera functions that are best to use for each situation and how to control f-stops, depth of field, wide angle, telephoto and zoom lenses, and flash to extend your creativity. Participants with digital cameras will get immediate reviews, but film users can have their film developed quickly for critiques too. We will also overview the creative aspects of Adobe Photoshop Elements. This workshop is for beginning photographers with digital or film cameras who want to be able to make stimulating and satisfying photographs.
