Sunday, June 8, we’re going to be offering our first in a series of “Mini” Workshops digging into specific issues we’ve had requests for by students in classes over the years.
This first workshop is designed to get Canon DSLR users more familiar with the powerful features of their camera. Unlike our other longer courses, this mini workshop is designed as a quick hit of hands-on instruction mixed in with actual shooting. Our objective is to make you more familiar with the camera in a short period of time. To do this, we’ve restricted the class size to 5 students, and we’re going to get it all done in ONE session.
