Beginning Digital Photography Workshop in Waycross Jump Starts Summer Fun
With all the places, tourists go, along goes their cameras. So often these expensive cameras are left on Auto, all of their professional features left unused. A workshop for Beginning Digital Photographers gives participants the knowledge and skills to use their digital or prosumer cameras to the fullest extent.
- Hinesville-Fort Stewart, GA (1888PressRelease) May 20, 2013 - Extra hours of light, extra hours of fun, summer officially starts on June 21. Day trips, weekend adventures, and coastal vacations beckon. Often an expensive digital camera finds its way into the roll bag, backpack, or suitcase. Travelers see the beautiful summer sun, but so often the cameras never see the light of day. The cell phone cameras typically trump the trouble of all the settings on a digital or prosumer cameras.
When the digital camera was purchased, chances are the buyer fantasized great expectations of vacation shots, maybe National Geographic landscapes of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. But upon inspecting the 200-page camera manual and all of the wheels, button, and multiple menus, the owner retreats. Pushing back against buyer's remorse, perhaps new camera's owner sets the camera on Auto, gave control to the camera, and at least produced some evidence of use and keepsake photos of vacation.
Why bother with the complicated settings for exposure, metering, white balance and focus? Why diminish living in the moment when Auto gets the job done. No argument bar the nagging desire to be creative and artistic with photography. Auto setting usurps pushing the limits and producing non-pedestrian shot. The artist inside knows there are standout possibilities inside the settings being avoiding.
Frustration with the technology of an SLR or prosumer camera can be thwarted with some basic lessons and concerted practice. While some individuals like to flaunt digital photography terminology as if it took a PhD, the basic of good photography are understandable by most anyone. Like using a computer, we need to grasp it as a tool to create output, but we do not have to be schooled in electronics. The same with the camera.
Coinciding with the start of summer, a schedule of Beginning Digital Photography Workshops will be held along the Florida and Georgia coast. The first workshop takes place in Waycross on June 21, 2013 at the Comfort Suites. Additional workshops follow in Yulee, FL, Hinesville (Fort Stewart area), GA, and St. Augustine, FL.
Jackie DeBusk, photographer and instructor offers this one-day workshop for beginning SLR and prosumer digital photographers that puts the geek in their place while putting the participants happily shooting their cameras. A shift in paradigm from artist's tool versus digital equipment drives her desire to share, moving the digi-phobic to photographer.
Using easy to understand language, words like aperture, f-stop, shutter speed, ISO, and histogram become easy settings and no longer cryptic jargon and babble. DeBusk reminds her audience, "Sound principles of photography did not change from film to digital. Knowing how to control the basics, let's all the bells and whistles of digital camera fall into places in good time. The class quickly distinguishes the need-to-know from the nice-to-know."
A long-time professional digital photographer and seasoned electronics & software trainer, DeBusk offers the beginning workshops along the coast because of their proximity to great nearby attractions. From the Okefenokee Swamp, to historic Savannah, Fernandina Beach, and St. Augustine, and much more in between. The full-day workshop offers plenty of hands on activities to arm tourists to go forth to these vacation sites and snag pictures with pride. A brag book on Facebook that might generate comments of wow and double wow!
Each class runs from 9:30 to 4:30 p.m. Individual fee for a single workshop is $49, payable by check or PayPal. To learn more visit http://www.debuskphoto.com. Event tickets can also be purchased on EventBrite.
