Outdoor Lighting & Flash Accessory Workshop |
 | |
Click on above photo to see more December workshop photos |
You are invited to come along to our March 19 workshop to learn how to enhance your outdoor photography with reflectors, fill flash and portable lighting kits. See how flash diffusers can soften the light from your flash and reduce or eliminate harsh light and shadows so photos look more natural.
Bring your DSLR camera and flash unit and try out the flash diffusers, radio triggers and Elinchrom Quadra Set yourself - a great opportunity to try before you buy :-) Weather permitting we will be shooting outdoors.
Pencil this date in your diary now... Monday, March 19th . Meet at 7pm at Snapshot Cameras. $30pp.
Space is limited. Please phone (07) 838 0031 to book. |

TIP... how to organise your photos using ABCs |
|
After the hustle and bustle of Christmas and the summer holidays you probably have 100s of digital photos to organise? Here are a few tricks called the ABC'S of photo organising from Cathi Nelson, founder of APPO (the Association of Personal Photo Organisers):
- A is for the photos you want to keep - the photos you want to print and add to an album!
- B is for backing up your photos - not all your photos, but the ones you would be devastated to lose. Hard drives crash and photo sites can go out of business.
- C stands for can. That means you can delete the photos you will never print.
- S is the most important: what story does the photo tell? Save the photos that tell a story - these are the important photos that you will want to share and see for generations.
If you want to learn more about the ABCS of photo organising (printed photos or digital), join one of Jill's photo organising classes to learn how to SORT, ORGANISE, SCAN, BACK-UP & SHARE
... or invite her to your home for a one-on-one session. More information on this web page .
