Mom With A Camera-The Workshop

 

Workshop Details:

When: Friday, September 14th from 6:30 pm-8:30 pm and Saturday, September 15th from 10:00 am-2:00 pm.

Where:  Friday evening we will meet at Meg-a-latte and Saturday we will meet at the James Memorial Library.

Cost: $190.00 + tax

What you need:

– A DSLR camera  ( a digital camera that allows you to switch lenses).

Here’s a general list of popular DSLR camera’s:

Good: Canon Digital Rebel T3, Canon Digital Rebel T2i, Nikon D3000, Nikon D5100 ($500-$650 with kit lens)

Better: Canon Digital Rebel T3i, Canon 60D , Nikon D90 ($780-$980 body only)

Best: Canon Canon 7D, Canon 5D MarkII, Nikon D300, Nikon D7000, Nikon D700 ($1500-$2500 body only)

A kit lens is the lens that most likely came with your camera.  If you really want to step up your game, consider purchasing a 50mm 1.8 lens.  This is not required, but I think you will really love how your pictures look when using it and it is awesome to learn with!  Cost is just over $100 for this type of lens.   I am not a Nikon user, but I do know that there are two models of the f/1.4 lens. Autofocus is not supported with the f/1.4D on the D40, D60, D3000, and D5000 camera bodies. Two online equipment stores I like to recommend are B&H Photo, and Adorama.  I will have one extra Canon model available that participants may trial.

– Your camera manual.  If you can’t find your original one, you can most likely find one online.

– A notebook and pen.

What you get:

– A  workbook that will cover everything we go over so that you can continue to refine your skills at home.

– Refreshments Friday evening and lunch on Saturday.

– Drawings for prizes.

– A child model during the last hour of class to practice the new concepts you’ve learned.

What you will learn:

– Learn how to get your camera off ‘auto mode’ by understand the exposure triangle (ISO, Shutter speed, Aperture).

– Learn how to utilize natural light and photograph your children without using your flash

– Tips on getting natural and candid photographs of your children.

– Understanding composition and the difference it can make in your photos.

– At the end of the day on Saturday we will put your new knowledge to use with a little photo shoot!  If it is a nice day we will head outside too.

What this class will not cover:

– Advanced camera techniques

– Editing Techniques

Mom with a Camera {Williston, ND Child Photographer}

Last weekend I held my first “Mom with a Camera” workshop and it was so much fun!  Ten awesome girls joined me on Friday evening at Mega Latte, a coffee house in town and then at the James Memorial Art Center in town on Saturday.   I had so much fun teaching the technical aspects of photography on Friday and then working with everyone while they put their new knowledge to use on Saturday.

Friday evening at the coffee house:

I completely forgot to take photos of the cute lunch set up on Saturday….darn!

Here are a few photos of the group practicing:

On Saturday afternoon, we had three little models come in.  It was so hard for me to step back and let everyone else practice…I had to take a few shots too.

We started indoors:

Aren’t these girls gorgeous!

A BIG thank you to everyone who attended the workshop and to these sweet little models….what a fun weekend!  I had such a great time doing this workshop that I am sure there will be another one when things slow down a little bit, so stay tuned or email me if you are interested.
