You will receive a calculator to help you under-stand how the Exposure Triangle of ISO/Speed/Aperture works. First three workshops are designed to explore your creativity in new realms,First, is the most sought-after look in images: creating an out-of-focus back-ground. This session is all about depth-of-field, bokeh, and best lenses for this effect. Second, is freezing time. We will review long exposure photography and it’s effects on capturing moving water, whether in day-time scenes, or in nighttime reflections, and learn what special filters are used to enhance effects.Third, is a workshop about how and when to use the two most common camera-assisted modes: Aperture Priority and Shutter [Time} Priority.

Two additional hands-on sessions have been added to help you understand how flash works, day and night, and how it affects your choice of shutter speed and ISO, how to balance foreground and background lighting, and more. You’ll also learn how to buy a strobe for your Canon or Nikon at a huge savings..
