September Workshop - Night/Low-light Photography
City of Fairfax Regional Library (map)
Most of us have a couple of shots that we are really proud of. It might be an incredible shot of a storm or it could be a portrait that just came out perfectly.
Unfortunately for many of us, these gold shots are few and far between. Sure, we can get the occasional brilliant photo, but we find it hard to put together time after time. Don't worry, most of us have the same problem!
The thing is that by taking your time with a few basic skills, you can greatly increase the chances that you are going to increase your average for getting that great shot. The funny thing is that none of these skills are particularly difficult.
Tonight's Workshop: It's dark out here!
Tonight we will discuss night and low-light photography. We will discuss the difficulties of taking night photos, various camera equipment and techniques for low-light shots, and learn some tricks to get that perfect picture.
Skills level: The concepts discussed in this workshop are basic elements of photography, but the discussions may get in depth.
This is a hands-on workshop and a camera is required. Please bring your camera and your questions. If you have not used your camera in awhile, or your camera is new to you, please bring along the users manual.
Keep those shutters snapping.
Note: The $2 fee for the workshop is for administrative and supply costs.

Michael WineExcellent! The expertise in the room was varied, but it seemed to me that everyone learned something! (or was reminded to think about something!)
