Visiting Beaufort, SC during November 9th - 11th, 2008

Our Workshop Series for 2007-2008 is designed for both the Novice or Advanced Amatuer/Pro wanting to learn more about both their camera and photography. By attending our workshops you will maximize your investment by realizing that you ca make your camera work for you. In three days of hands on work, both in the classroom and on site, you will learn the features of your camera that will allow you to create photographs and not just snapshots. You will learn how to compose better, when and where to use the automatic functions of your new camera, and learn to use and trust your camera's light meter. Additionally, you understand indoor and outdoor flash photography. Our workshops are a MUST for new camera owners or for amateur photographers about to take the leap into a modern digital SLR. Our workshops are limited to eight students so that students can maximize their learning in a stress free environment.
