Hello Photo Enthusiast,
Are you as excited as we are about the
many wonderful possibilities for picture-taking this
month? We're excited and want to share some opportunities
with you.
Unless you've been asleep under a rock
for the past six months, you will know that the Democratic
National Convention (DNC) starts Saturday. The opportunity
to make important, historical photographs is less than
48 hours away. If photojournalism is your forte or if
you just want to go out and see what you can see, here
are some tips for you to take great photos and stay
out of trouble. 1) keep your ID (and photography business
card) with you, 2) be mindful of your camera gear and
pocket-contents, 3) travel light (a tripod may not be
advisable), 4) be mindful of your surroundings and 4)
keep someone's phone number handy.
If the crowds and hoopla isn't your
cup-of-tea, then perhaps heading into nature may suit
you better. There are plenty of beautiful scenes in
nature this month. Wildflowers are in full bloom, streams
are flowing and the elk look majestic. Some tips: 1)
Make sure your batteries are charged, 2) memory cards
are ready to fill, 3) bring suitable clothing for changing
weather and temperature and 4) for great photos, "get
close", while maintaining a safe distance from
wildlife. Read park literature for more information.
There's plenty to do this month. Whatever
you chose to do, be prepared, be safe and bring your
camera.
In other news, we have a few classes
starting soon. Tomorrow we will continue with our popular
Photoshop series with Armando Martinez. Photoshop
201: Intermediate starts at 6:30pm. In this workshop
you will learn about Curves, making Advanced Selections,
Automating Tasks and much more. If you're driven to
learn this powerful program, this class is where you
want to be.
Also, starting next week, Andrew Clark
will give instruction on starting and marketing a successful
Wedding
Photography business. Given Andrew's excellent instruction
and our unique Referral Program, this workshop is not
to be missed. In eight hours of instruction, you will
learn tips, tricks and techniques which will get you
far ahead of your competition. Get started on your Wedding
Photography business and hit the ground running. Class
starts next Wednesday
at 3pm.
As always, we're exited to share our
passion of photography with you and hope to see you
again soon.
Happy Shooting,
Efrain
