Basic Digital Photography Workshop (April Weekend Intake)

Good photography is all about making the right choices--and they aren't only the scary, technical ones.

Through live demonstrations and sample photographs, find out how making simple but critical decisions will dramatically improve your photography; learn to take control of your camera and solve real-world photography problems; and discover what makes a good photo good, and a bad photo rotten.

In four intensive lessons, instructor Lance Lee provides participants with the fundamentals to advance their photography beyond the casual snapshots.
