The nitty gritty details:
-Starts on the 16th of July and runs for 3 weeks (ending about Aug 6th).
-Cost: $40. Sign up here.
-It will be held on a private blog, and there will be new posts at least 5 times a week. You will have access for over a year after.
-We will cover 3 basic sections of taking pretty photos,
1. The cameras/film and what you can DO with them!
2. The 'Basics' that have changed my life, like camera settings, how to use ISO properly, flash (friend or foe!). AND shooting tips- how to capture your life the beautiful way it is (low lighting, locations, being sneeky etc).
3. Storing tips/my go-to photoshop techniques and my experiences with prints vs scans.
-In between advice (from the 6+ years I've been taking pictures everyday) I will be sharing experiences that will hopefully save you some heartache plus examples of what is a 'mistake' and what's a GOOD mistake.
- 3 Chats with me, and an extra week after the class finishes to ASK ME ANYTHING you want to know.
-A group on Flickr to share your photos with me&your classmates.
-Some ideas to get you shooting.
This class would be great for you if:
-You don't feel like you have a good handle on your SLR for everyday shooting.
-You don't have enough pictures of your real life!
-You feel awkward taking your camera out and always regret not doing it.
-You've got a film camera(or want one!) but are too scared to use it.
-You like Lomography.
-You always think 'i wish i could do that' when you look at my photos.
-You want to HAVE FUN with photography!
What you need:
-A keen eye and a camera (doesn't matter what kind, but here are the cameras I use.)
You can buy a spot on my Etsy [:If you've only recently started following me and want to know a bit more about my photography experiences, please feel free to wander around my flickr- I've got some sets & collections for easy viewing.
I was going to post some of my favourite photos, but there's too many! So here is a nice range of different settings/styles:
Little bits of extra info:
I'd like to keep the class kind of small, but if there is a lot of interest, I will re-think my numbers [:
Dates to keep in mind:
July 10th- sign up starts.
July 13th- 1st e-mails go out with blog info.
July 16th- Class starts!!!
SIGN UP HERE!
Hopefully see you there!
