Good Morning:

Here are the details of the upcoming Photo Program.

Meeting Time: The Tuesday evening (6-8PM) sessions will take place at the Waynesville Old Armory Recreation Center, 44 Boundary St., Waynesville, NC. I will plan to be there by 5:00 for the first session for those who may have individual questions about equipment or other issues. They are scheduled for every other Tuesday evening.

Wednesday mornings, 8AM at the Armory - will be devoted to hands-on work in a natural setting. Please bring your tripod. Even if interests are other than nature photography - i.e. travel, journalistic, general family photography, etc. - the majority of what we experience in the outdoors will be applicable to all photography. If you are a writer or an artist working in other mediums, this time can be very valuable. It if is raining, we will adjust our activities. Some of the best work can be done in misty weather. However; it is always a good idea to bring rain gear when going out on a shoot. Being comfortable is important.

Equipment: If you have not used your camera in a while, please check the batteries and general operation. We will be working with Film and Digital cameras. If you need some guidelines about equipment prior to the first session, feel free to call me at 828/627-0245. If shooting with a film camera, slide film with speed of ISO 100 is preferred - please note that film and processing will not be included in the tuition fee.

Prior to Sessions, Important: Know your equipment.  Locate your manual - a review before the class might remind you of questions. Write them down and bring them with you. Bring your equipment with you to the Tuesday sessions, if you wish. If you do not have any equipment yet, that’s okay. You may wish to have more information before making a purchase. Other equipment that might be helpful is a tripod, especially when we do our field work.

Discount: A special 20% discount has also been arranged if you are planning to do all the sessions. Use the enclosed Registration Form to indicate your choice. And please send in the form as soon as possible, as this will help us determine any additional staff requirements. The special discount fee will include all 7 meetings, field shoots, critiques, and handouts. Individual fees will provide the flexibility to attend only certain events and drop in as your schedule allows. We look forward to sharing with you some of the best techniques from many top photographers around the country, and have fun at the same time.

Prior work: If you would like to bring some of your photography, please do so. The format of the program is designed to be flexible to the needs of the individual participants, and a review of work ahead of time may be helpful. Everyone should feel comfortable to participate, and remember, this program is for you - there are no dumb questions.

                       

Part of the class schedule will be conducted using slide or digital projector. If you have slides of your work, please limit them to 10 and depending upon the number present - be prepared to show only five if the group is large. The same guidelines will apply to those who have prints. For those using a digital camera, I use an Apple Macintosh and can accept a flash drive or CD although a flash drive is preferable. Please limit the number of images to five. Feel free to call with any questions. Looking forward to our time together.
