Description:
If you are mystified about how to get really great images of cars to publish in your club newsletter, The Star, or for personal use, two professional photographers are leading a "hands-on workshop on automobile photography including discussion of technique, practice using your own camera, and a critique of technique.” You will learn how to use your own equipment to improve the quality of your images through a combination of a PowerPoint presentation followed by practice and a review of your images. Be sure to bring your own digital camera, a connector cord or a media card (SD format) to transfer images to a computer.
