Beyond Basic Photography

Saturday 25 March

Downtown Fort Collins - 10am - 3 Hours

This class is for the photographer that knows his or her camera but wants to know more than the basic use of their camera. In this meet up, our professional instructor will answer the more technical things you can do with your camera. He will talk about previsualization and planning the right photo before you make the image happen. You can learn more about lenses, cameras and gear before you make a big purchase! Please bring a fully charged battery, lots of space on your memory card, some water to drink, and an umbrella if it looks like it may rain.

I absolutely loved this class. Not only did I learn a TON about food photography, Tom was able to explain things about my camera- functions, settings, etc.-that I had not previously known about. As somewhat of a novice, this class really opened up my eyes to what I can do with food photography. I highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn about shadows, lighting and tricks to making images stand out.

Since this was my first session, I was unsure what to expect. I always aim to gain at least one skill set when attending a class such as this. My take home message was using and positioning a light source. In this case the sun. I have already ordered a collapsible diffuser screen.

Tom provided great insights and tips to get the most out of the scenes we were capturing. He was encouraging and took his time to review what we had captured, but also shot with his own camera and showed us what he was seeing through the lens, very helpful.

It was a fun evening exploring some creative ways to use light. I had always wanted to experiment with light painting and Tom gave us that opportunity. I wish it had been a bit warmer, but that is no criticism of the organizers or the instructor. I am looking forward to the next session that strikes my interest.
