Get a start toward making good photographs

Although I've been teaching in the area for over five years, seldom has the opportunity come up to do a course that includes a field trip, a critique, and offers printing and a print to take home. This weekend, Sept 20-21, is such an opportunity. The owner of Edgewater's Bella Photo Art and Framing Gallery, Mike Kellogg, and I will present on the first day an all-day session touching on subjects that are important to know for fine photography.

The next day implements that knowledge, starting with a morning walk in Annapolis, shooting for a couple of hours followed by a critical and helpful review back at the Gallery. Once the student makes a choice among the photos taken, Mike will demonstrate how to print it well and actually make a large print for the student to take home.

We think it will be popular. You can sign up at http://www.bellaphotoart.com/workshops, and do it soon. Only ten students will be admitted. Lunch can be had nearby or bring your own. And bring a camera that can make individual settings so you can see how to control it for a variety of situations - either a DSLR or an advanced compact. Hope to see you there - regardless of your knowledge level it will be time well-spent.
