Carnival Bumper Cars at the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair

Announcing two new 1/2-day workshops on Light and Motion: Photographing the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair! 

 

Dates:

- Saturday, August 14, 6:00-10:00 PM - BEGINNING Level

- Sunday, August 15, 7:00-11:00 PM - INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED Level

 

In the beginning level workshop, amidst the bright lights, noises, and bustling activity of the Montgomery County carnival, we'll explore the absolute fundamentals of photography: the exposure triangle - the interrelationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, and how to manipulate these three elements to make drastically different-looking images. You'll learn to use aperture to control depth-of-field, and shutter speed to freeze or blur movement. Nighttime is one of the best moments to learn to creatively use these elements to achieve infinite possibilities of artistic vision. You'll also learn your camera controls and delve into commposition on site and with our after-shooting photo critique!

 

In the intermediate/advanced workshop, we'll explore the infinite possibilities of artistic vision, working on two photo projects along our journey.

 

These workshop are limited to a maximum of five students each, to ensure an intimate environment and to maximize our interaction and the learning experience.  THE INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED WORKSHOP HAS ONLY ONE SPOT LEFT!
