Digital Photography – From Start to Finish February 27, 2010

An All-Day Workshop Featuring Derrick Story

Want to take better pictures that really sparkle? Join us to learn new techniques for capturing beautiful images and processing them on your Mac. The day begins with a series of easy-to-master pro tips for both compact and DSLR photographers. Then we’ll cover how to make great portraits, how to tame those unwieldy group shots, and fire up iPhoto to explore the powerful tools available to improve our images even more.

You will learn how to:
• Capture professional looking portraits
• Master your flash
• Shoot in low light
• Take great shots of kids, pets, and sports
• Create digicam movies
• Edit images in iPhoto
• And much more!

There will be plenty of Question & Answer time throughout the day, too. The course will be based on Derrick Story’s book, The Digital Photography Companion ($16.49 from www.amazon.com— Derrick will sign your copy if you bring it to the workshop). Bring your camera and your laptop, too! Attendees will receive 24-hour free passes to sample the video training series “iPhoto ‘08 Essential Training” on www.lynda.com, a box lunch, and the chance to win great raffle prizes.
