Canon DSLR Mini Workshop : Sunday June 8, 2008

Posted on 23 May 2008 by Keith

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.

Date/Location/Time:

Sunday, June 8
Panera Bread Restaurant Conference Room – 13th & Grant, Downtown Denver

Capitol Heights
1330 Grant Street
Denver, CO 80203

First half [90 minutes]:

Lunch/Snack Time [30-45 minutes]:

  • Bathroom break
  • Grab some lunch
  • Informal Q&A with the class about specific issues that they’ve seen in their work or even in the indoor section

Second half [90 minutes]:

  • Outdoor review and practice (ISO, fill flash, focus point, etc) on-the-spot questions about specific shooting issues
