Learning in a class room is fine, when your just starting out. But learning while your actually DOING what your learning about is better!

With photography this is true. Of course you need to understand what the buttons on your camera do and have a good grasp of exposure. But once you get the concepts of aperture, shutter speed and depth of field you need to head outdoors and start taking pictures.

Outdoor Photography Workshops are designed for people who have a solid grasp of the basics and want to improve their skill in image composure.

What makes a picture interesting? There are many aspects to this. An experienced photographer can see possibilities in the landscape and use them to create a special look and feel. Foot prints in the mud, a reflection, the shadows from a low angle of light these are all things you learn about on an outdoor photo workshop. 

Last nights workshop took us to Padilla Bay where we were surrounded by water and sea. An old barn added flavor and there was a dock extending out into the water.

As the sun set the sky turned from gray to bright perfect blue. The dull clouds exploded in an orgasm of orange color.

Outdoor Workshops, and the classroom courses preceding them, are now available in Bellingham, Burlington and Marysville. Just click on the city to see more details on times, locations and how to register.

There is a DSLR Class where we learn what the buttons do and how to take pictures in the manual mode.

Then there is a two-day class on photo composition and editing. Here you’ll see a myriad of techniques the pro’s use to create stunning images.

Then you’re ready to head outside!

Each work shop is 3 to 4 hours long and focuses on teaching the basic tools you need to launch into the fantastic world of photography.

We live in one of the most beautiful parts of Planet Earth! Nothing beats getting outside and breathing the air and being a part of the world.

Please come join me for a workshop soon! I look forward to meeting you.
