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.
