Take that joyous first step into your future as a digital photographer. Designed to help you break through technical barriers and launch you into a new realm of creating great photographs, this workshop covers the technical side of resolution, downloading and re-sizing images, file management and archiving, and output/printing sources. Under Ricks guidance, participants explore shutter speeds, apertures, and shooting modes. By the week’s end, everyone will be using the camera in manual mode with ease.
Rick shares tips and techniques about composition, lighting, lenses, and creativity that help participants see the world with new eyes and capture images with impact. He creates an atmosphere in which learning the technical processes of digital photography is fun, and playful expression is encouraged. Field trips around beautiful Santa Fe and daily assignments encourage the deepening of your digital photography skills.
