Photography for Beginners | February 7th

Taking the time to switch your camera from Auto mode to Manual Mode can be a daunting! But here at Creative Edge Photography Workshops, we work with you so you can feel confident using Manual Mode. Learning how the ISO, Fstop and Shutter Speed work together is the first step. So we begin our workshops in the classroom. Instead of reading from a book, we help set up your camera, go through all the settings we use on a regular basis (there are many different tools on your camera, but to not overwhelm you we keep it simple). Then, we take you outside with a few models and help you practice on Manual Mode. We keep our lighting situations simple and not complicated so you can focus on the camera settings. If you want to go further into trickier lighting situations, definitely sign up for our Intermediate Workshop!  Here are a few images from our instructors.

At every Intro Photography workshop, we host an in-house contest. We ask students to submit their images for three reasons. First, when students submit images, we can access their images metadata and give feedback on their images. Second, we send all the images to the models! They love seeing your work! And Finally, the contest! One lucky student with the best eye and spot-on skills receives a free Intermediate workshop on us!

Here is some of the student’s work:

Teresa! Congratulations! You’ve won a free INTERMEDIATE workshop! We love this angle! Not to mention, hats are hard. They can throw off the digital focus very easily, but you managed wonderfully! We love the way this image is both light, airy and technically on point! Great job!

Here are our runner ups!

Ryan! Amazing work, sir! You’ve got some killer composition happening. We love the strange sun flare happening, and the over all ‘mood’ of this image! We also wanted to include some of your other images, because your the collection you submitted as a whole was very impressive! Your sharpness is incredible.

We also have great images from Tara! We are loving the attitude you have captured from these models!

A great job is in order for all the students. Everyone had truly great images for your first time in Manual Mode. We think you are all ready for the next step. So be sure to sign up for our Intermediate Class in April!
