Outdoor photography Seminar - Learn about lighting and lenses for nature photos
Come and learn all about outdoor photography!
How to create a "postcard" photo? What lenses to choose? How to work with available light? What settings should I use?
We will also have guest speakers from Unified Color - an HDR software company (one of my sponsors) that will show their product and talk about HDR photos. To clarify, our guest speaker will go at the end of the lecture, I asked them to come because HDR is a form of outdoor photography that I will talk about and they are the experts about it. Please let me know if you have any questions.
I Encourage you to bring your own dgital cameras we will do actual photos onsite.
This is a FREE event!
We will have some refreshments and light snacks!
Location:
Sports Basement in Sunnyvale
1177 Kern Ave
Sunnyvale, CA 94085
See you all there! Let me know if you have any questions!

Don (aka trumpman)
With so many people, I'm wondering if I should wait for a second session. Will there be enough chairs at this one? Thanks.

When you say "originally signed up for the 18th" does that imply it is not now the 18th? It looks like 18th at 6:30 is still correct. Is it not?

Hi Mike, How do I "update" my attendance? I have already signed up to attend. How do I "update" my attendance? Is there a "reconfirm" button?

Hi Bill (and all) no need to "reconfirm" if you plan on coming it's all good. If not, simply click on "Change your mind about attending?" link.

I agree with Vicki... 205 people is too much and 2 more days to go... Parking and rush both will be problem... Mike if possible please split this in two session... I think Don also had same suggestion. Please consider this request and split the session.

Jean-ClaudeIt was very good. I feel that I learned a lot and enjoyed the presentation. The location was convenient and the snacks tasty!

David Tran Photography LLC+2 guestsGreat discussions, learned a lot just in 3 hours... Keep these going...

MiekoThank you very much for the informative presentation. As I just started it, it was imply perfect. I liked cheerful atmosphere, too.
-
ErikThe pace was very slow and the examples given didn't seem to be very well thought out and categorized. Also, it was extremely beginner level and I think most people there with DSLRs know the basics already. I wish that there were examples of pictures in the slides and descriptions of the settings of the lens and camera that were used. Also, composition is important and I was hoping for more information on that rather than just lenses and how focal length affects zoom.

David ChangThis was my first time attending this group. Good introduction to outdoor photography, but most stuff presented in seminar seems too basic for me. The lens Mike recommanded are too high ended (most are pro level & heavy lens). If we shoot F8-F11 as Mike suggested for outdoor photography, why we need F2.8 or faster lens which only pro can afford(most over $1000)? I hope Mike can give us a list of middle-level decent lens which good for amateur outdoor photography.

texThe HDR demo was very good. The seminar on Outdoor photography was disappointing to me as it was very introductory and perhaps 95% of the discussion was irrelevant to outdoor photos but just lens basics. The audience seemed to enjoy it, so maybe I just didnt read the description close enough.
