[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 392341, member: 4399"] I think $60 an hour is fair for 1 on 1. I've found with groups that you spend a lot of time showing half of them how to change settings. I would like it to be meaningful and more about quality/technique/composition/post than settings; half the battle would be getting the student up to speed in basics. I guess I'm convincing myself here that it would have to be 1 on 1 to maximize the value of the time/experience for both of us. I don't "need" to do this, but I like to help people develop their passion, so many that approach me at shows can't get to the next level. One couple was really persistent and I steered them towards a Community College course to start learning the basics. I agreed to field work after they felt comfortable with general photography. The facebook groups can be annoying in that they want to follow me around but have made no investment in learning how to use their gear! [/QUOTE]
