Also covered will be camera functions, techniques, depth of field, lighting and composition. I will shoot a couple of images, show how I process them using Adobe Photoshop. This is an instructional workshop and you need not bring any equipment to this class. The workshop will run about six hours. Cost $49.00.


INTERMEDIATE CLOSE-UP/MACRO WORKSHOPThis workshop is for the photographer who has a digital SLR camera, lenses with macro capabilities or standard lenses with extension tubes, a good tripod/head and the know how to work all the functions of the camera (change f-stops, exposure, ISO, white balance, etc). Various subjects will be set up and shot, then processed using Adobe Photoshop. The workshop is held indoors and will run about five and a half hours. Cost $69.00


ADVANCED FIELD WORKSHOPSIn the advanced field workshops all the qualifications are the same as in the intermediate workshops, but it will be held at an outdoor location.
