In this workshop, Saturday and Sunday, February 8 & 9, from 9 AM to 4 PM you can learn how to “make” a photograph rather than just “Take” a photo. We will cover the technical <focus, exposure, clarity, lighting> as well as the Compositional/Artistic elements. We will also work with organizing your images and tips on post processing.  

Student Prerequisites/materials list: Camera, full-charged battery in camera, camera manual (if you have it), all camera gear you own, notebook, pen, lunch, water for drinking.
