Candid Photography

This workshop is divided into two parts:

1.) Candid Photography: Learn how catching decisive candid moments of people in public places can improve your action and family photos. You'll learn about timing, reacting and anticipating. We'll talk about how approaching photos with no preconceptions or expectations can actually free your mind so you can take better pictures.

2.) Rocking Your Smart Phone Camera: The best camera is the one you have with you, and for most people these days, that's the camera that is built into your phone. We'll look at ways to get the best possible images from your phone. Attendees will be introduced to free apps that will enhance your phone camera's capabilities. Be sure to bring your cell phone to this class!
