SUMMARY:Tuesdays Together-Photographing Fireworks
DESCRIPTION:One of the best parts of summer and other times of celebration\, are the amazing fireworks displays that are often held. Who doesn’t love seeing fireworks? The brilliant colors that light up the night skies can be magical. \nMany people try to photographically capture those beautiful bursts with little or no success. \nI have been photographing fireworks for decades\, and would love to share a variety of tips and techniques with you to help you capture stunning – and creative images of fireworks and similar displays. \nJoin me as we discuss gear choices\, composition\, exposure settings and some creative tips and tricks. If time allows\, we will also go through a few quick editing tips\, as well.

SUMMARY:Understanding Lenses
DESCRIPTION:Are you confused about all those numbers on your lenses? Or when to use which one? Or\, maybe you’re just getting into photography and you are not sure which lens/lenses will be right for you. Lens choice is probably the most important decision you will make regarding image quality and style-next to the camera body itself. Gaining a strong understanding of lenses could save you a ton of money over time\, helping you minimize your gear by only purchasing what you truly need. \nJoin us this week as we take a deep-dive into all things lenses. We will discuss what all those numbers mean-from the aperture to filter size \, to focal length and more. We will talk about the difference between wide angle\, mid-range and telephoto lenses\, as well as their practical uses. You’ll understand the difference between a “fast” and “slow” lens is-and why it matters. \nOnce we cover the basics\, we will talk about how to use these lenses in a more creative and compelling way. Your lenses are your artistic tool. Learn to use them to their fullest potential!

SUMMARY:Understanding Manual Exposure Mode-When\, Why\, How to Use It With Ease
DESCRIPTION:Over the past several weeks\, we have been discussing some of the most important and foundational elements of photography. We began with an understanding of what Exposure is and and how to control it. Next we discussed how and why our cameras actually come up with the meter readings they give us\, and how to handle the times it gives us an incorrect reading. We also discussed how to read and understand the camera’s histogram. From there we spent two weeks discussing how to know which settings (aperture\, shutter speeds and ISO) to used for different scenarios and why. We also went through a bunch of those scenarios showing how to use these settings creatively. \nIn this lesson\, we discuss using manual exposure mode – when\, why\, how to use it. We’ll talk about the difference between Aperture Priority\, Shutter Priority\, and shooting in full manual\, and what types of scenes require that you take full control of your camera’s exposure settings. We discuss where the camera’s meter fails\, and will once again reference the histogram and what role it plays in getting correct exposures every time. \nIf you missed any of the previous lessons\, you can still feel to join us! If you struggle with understanding exposure and how to set your camera properly\, then I encourage you to take the guess work out using your camera and gain the knowledge you need to truly understand key camera settings to give you great results every time. You can still watch the recordings of each session. They are only $10 each. Just contact me (use the “contact”and I’ll get you set right up\, so you can catch up with this series!

SUMMARY:Understanding Shutter Speed and How To Use It Creatively
DESCRIPTION:This week’s lesson deals with another foundational element of photography\, and key component of the Exposure Triangle. We will take the mystery out of when to choose shutter speeds over aperture settings\, what is Shutter Priority and when to use it\, and best settings for a variety of different scenes and subjects. Join us as we learn to use shutter speeds to create more compelling images!

SUMMARY:Understanding Aperture and How To Use It Creatively
DESCRIPTION:In this week’s Foundations of Photography lesson\, we discuss what is arguably the most important component of the Exposure Triangle-aperture. We will discuss how aperture affects depth of field and the aesthetic mood of the image\, best choices for different shooting situations\, limitations and considerations and more! Join us for a greater understanding of this critical aspect of your camera’s exposure settings.

SUMMARY:Understanding The Histogram and How Your Camera's Meter Works For Perfect Exposures Every Time!
DESCRIPTION:Getting well-exposed images should not be an accident or every-now-and-then thing\, but be a series of simple steps and settings  to use every time you compose an image. In this class\, participants will gain a greater understanding of how their camera’s meter actually works\, what types of subjects and lighting conditions might “fool” the meter\, how to get a perfect exposure nearly 100% of the time and more! We will spend time discussing and demystifying the camera’s histogram\, and learn why it is an essential ingredient to every image. Join us for this foundational discussion on one of the most important things every photographer needs to understand.

SUMMARY:Tuesdays Together_The Beauty of Black and White
DESCRIPTION:I tend to gravitate towards bold color subjects and images\, but there are many scenes and subjects that are far better as black and whites than in color. These images tend to be more graphically pleasing and moody. Shooting in/or converting to black and white in post processing reveals lines\, shapes\, texture and dimension far better than a color image ever could. There are also certain lighting situations that just lend themselves better in black and white. \nUnderstanding when to shoot for black and white\, and how to convert a color image and edit to bring out the best is a tool that should be in everyone’s photographic toolbox! \nJoin us as we discuss what types of scenes and subjects lend themselves to black and white imagery\, and then best practices for editing them in Adobe LR. These tips will help no matter what software you use. \nCost is only $5! Session will be recorded and available for you to watch if unable to join us live\, and to watch again at a later date! \nZoom link will be sent upon registration

SUMMARY:Tuesday Together_Image Review and Editing Tips
DESCRIPTION:This week’s event fall on an important holiday. As I know many of you will be occupied doing something special with someone special\, I’m making this a free event for those who are available. \nDuring our original Tuesdays Together series during the COVID lockdown\, we did several image reviews\, and the feedback on them was fantastic. Most photographers capture the best image they know how\, and are not sure how they could have improved the image\, both out in the field\, and then after capture in post processing. Join us as we review several participant images\, where we will discuss composition\, light\, lens and aperture choice\, and potential ways to improve your images-both in the field and in post processing. \nIn appreciate for the support shown to me and my business\, I’ll share the love by making this week’s event absolutely free! And the first 5 people that respond to either through the website\, email or FB will be invited to share one of their images for the review! \nNo registration required. Just click the link below to join us via Zoom. Doors open around 6:45pm ET \n       https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89158470812?pwd=VEt4UUI3WHJrbUFMb21YcXk2SHJqZz09      \n

SUMMARY:Tuesdays Together-Setting Up A Fail Proof Back Up System
DESCRIPTION:This week we will be discussing how to protect your precious digital files from loss. Most photographers know they need a good system. Many have implemented some things to protect them\, but fall short of a preventing a complete loss. These things could come from computer failure\, fire\, theft\, lightning or power surges\, accidental damage to hard drives\, etc. The start of a new year is a great time to put something so important finally into place! \nJoin me via Zoom\, as we discuss a few simple steps you can take to protect your images-and all your precious files from being lost for good. \nThere is no charge for this event! \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89158470812?pwd=VEt4UUI3WHJrbUFMb21YcXk2SHJqZz09 \n
