Re: Wud's project 365
Hey so I planned to do a workshop for beginners today (dog photography), got quite a lot of attention. Several wanted to sign up but couldn't on the announced date so maybe I'll make one more..
Ive been thinking about it for a long time now and think I got a setup which will work.
Everybody need to make sure they can import raw files before the class. And bring camera and laptop of course.
We start going through ISO and shutter speed - what they do. Then we go to aperture where we test it right away so they will see the difference between low and high. Thinking to bring some different objects for this.
Some talk about compositions, taking the image in eye hight with the dog, framing without to much "mess" in the background.
Then we set up the cameras for a dog running (I'll bring my youngest) - first just some test shots where the dog is calm, then playing a bit and finally running (if he'll be so kind lol)..
After this, a break, coffee and cake - and then editing the images they got. Just some basic, contrast and so on.
Ill give everybody 10 minutes or so one by one, as they don't use the same programs, those who knows a little more about it can start editing right away, then maybe I can show them a new trick or two, regarding on how they edit.
Does this sound good to you?
Its people who only use automatic settings now and who needs to take it in baby steps - I will print out some of the info before so they'll see it while we talk about it and they have something to bring home, to help them remember..
