WEEKEND WORKSHOP - Photography Made Simple

with J. Peter Mortimer

PHOENIX

  • Fall 2008 dates TBD

Cost: $85
Time: Noon-5pm

After this one session, you will see improvement in your pictures and your camera manual will start to make sense! Held in a small seminar type setting, long-time Arizona Highways contributor and former picture editor J. Peter Mortimer will take those difficult photographic concepts and make them understandable. You'll learn how to make your camera do what you want it to do - all those programs and functions will no longer be so confusing. Additionally, you will learn about "the best" exposure and "the correct" exposure for a variety of films. Lens openings and shutter speeds will be discussed as creative controls. Be sure to bring your camera, your camera manual, a notepad and a couple of your favorite photographs if you would like them to be critiqued.

"Non-intimidating setting - very helpful for a beginner.  It will definitely help me take better pictures and understand my camera manual better."                  - Participant Kim Hohman

 

A participant at one of Peter's sessions wrote, "Thank you for not only the specific suggestions given at last Saturday's critique, but also for the extraordinarily thoughtful tone of encouragement."

TIP: Try to create interest in the foreground with a dominant object. For example place tall grass at the edge of a lake in the foreground to create a sense of the third dimension. - Chuck Lawsen
