PAINTING with LIGHT Workshop

smbottlesl1.jpg

I will email everyone that has emailed or left a comment here just before registration opens so they are at the front of the queue:D

REGISTRATION opens 14 March 2008
painting with light10 week creative workshop
Starts 4 April 2008

GBP 25.00

by signing up for this online workshop you have decided you want to move on from the ‘wing & a prayer’ mentality and get involved in the picture making processes. the first and most important words of wisdom i can share with you is read the damn manual – it is down to you to learn about the basic functions and find out the true potential of this amazing piece of kit.my aim is to guide you through the creative process involved when ’painting with light’. there’s no point in me telling you to ‘do this’ and you copying it exactly – you’ll never begin to ‘see’ the image that way.

i will set weekly assignments that will hopefully stretch you and hopefully share the odd word of wisdom along theduring this ten week workshop we will cover techniques such as using texture, viewpoints & angles and framing the shot.there is a private forum for photographers to share images, inspiration and receive feedback.

places are limited so once they are they are gone registration will close – post any questions below

Yay! i’ve just sent the payment through. So excited as i missed out on the last workshop!

Jan - August 12, 2007 - 10:56 pm

Hi there. I am just a ‘happy snapper’ who wants to learn to take better photos, but I only have a compact camera. Is this enough to do your workshop or is it necessary to own a ‘proper’ high tech camera?

Thanks.
Jan

CJ - August 12, 2007 - 11:01 pm

It is purely a creative workshop but it is beneficial if you can change shutter speed or ISO for a couple of the modules. We had all types of cameras last time and they produced some amazing images.

Anthea - August 12, 2007 - 11:05 pm

Whoohooo!! I’ve sent my payment through too! Really excited about this as DH has just got a DSLR and I really want to know how to get those fantastic shots. It’ll be great to finally get some great photo’s rather than the rather haphazard results I normally get!

Julie - August 12, 2007 - 11:12 pm

Hi Cheryl,

Just pushed the button so you should receive the payment. Looking forward to this very much! Now…where’s that manual :lol:

Can’t do this workshop – I live in Spain and over the next 10 weeks will have visitors or be in the UK for 7 of them! Would love to do the next one though (PWL) – any idea when it will run again please?

I inherited a Fuji FinePix S7000 from my husband who died in February. Really need to learn how to use it properly soon, otherwise I’ll end up giving it away.
