    ADOBE LIGHTROOM PHOTO EDITING

    $189.00 incl. GST

    When you first start taking photographs, you may think you don’t need cataloging and editing for your work. As the photographs start to clog your computer and you have photos that you know need some help, you will start to look for a software program that can help.  The choices are overwhelming.

    Adobe Lightroom is a powerful, yet simple program used by beginner and professional photographers. Let us help you get comfortable using this valuable tool.  We’ll show you why and how.

    Our one day program covers:

    • Importing your photographs into Lightroom
    • Learning the Library Module
    • Using ratings to organize and quickly retrieve your photographs
    • Keywording your photographs
    • Using the map function to associate your photos with a place on the map.
    • Working with the Develop Module to edit your photographs

    You will need a laptop computer with accessories to plug it in, and Adobe Lightroom on your computer (start with the 30 day trial version if you don’t already own it).


  • NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY

    $189.00 incl. GST

    With the advent of digital SLR’s, the night has become a veritable feast of photographic opportunities.  Subjects range from night skies, the moon and stars, city lights, car light trails, star trails, northern lights, fireworks, physiograms and creative “light painting”. If this is an area that you’ve tried and had limited to poor success, this is the course for you.  Or maybe you haven’t tried night photography but would like to. Our Night Photography course offers a great opportunity to have fun and learn some cool techniques.

    In one night, the course covers:

    • Long exposures, cityscapes, and car light trails.
    • How to use the camera’s bulb setting, the importance of a remote shutter release, and the best time to do cityscapes.
    • Light painting and writing
    • Use of flash and doing night portraits
    • Physiograms – A physiogram is a single long exposure of a flashlight spinning around on a string above your camera. This creates some very unique, interesting photographs.
    • Photographing the moon and stars, including star trails – if we have a clear sky.

    You will need a tripod, remote shutter release and a digital SLR camera.

    Most photographers don’t explore the wealth of opportunities that the night offers.  Join us for a fun, very creative night.


  • PEOPLE PHOTOGRAPHY

    $189.00 incl. GST

    Portrait photography is about capturing a person, group of people, child, or even a pet, in which the face, facial features and facial expressions are made predominant.

    Everyone at one time or another has taken a photograph of a friend, family or even their beloved pet.  It’s wonderful to have these memories and it’s even better when your photos show people at their best. Snap shots capture moments, but our people photography course ensures your subjects and your photographs look fantastic.  Our one day course includes:

    • Making your subject(s) comfortable
    • Body positioning
    • Posing – women, men, couples, groups, children, pets
    • Working with continuous focus and continuous shutter mode
    • The three D’s – details, distortion and depth of field
    • Lighting – front, back and overhead lighting
    • Travel and People photography
    • Composition
    • Using reflectors and flash, both on and off camera

    You will need a digital SLR camera and if you have an off camera flash please bring it.

    If you’ve been frustrated with photos of your friends where their faces are too dark to see, or they appear distorted, or they look uncomfortable, this is your course. Maybe you’ve taken a photograph of your child that you love, but you have no idea how you achieved it.  We can help. When you look at your family photos taken after our People Course, you’ll be amazed and delighted. And so will your family and friends. Your dog and cat probably won’t care!  One day can really make a difference.
