If you are attending Master National this year, this is a great opportunity during pre-National training week to get your camera figured out and warmed up to shoot your dogs doing their thing. So charge those batteries, pick your favorite lenses, and we will help you with the rest.
The skinny: Shoot Your Dog is scheduled for the evenings of September 26-28 from 3-7 p.m. in Elkton, Maryland at Rebel Ridge, my favorite dog spot around.
The stuff: The Shoot Your Dog workshops will consist of 3 separate classes*
Your Camera 101 – Take your camera out of “AUTO”. We’ll teach you how to use your fancy camera effectively. Making sense of the buttons and dials, and using them to get the images you want. [beginner]
Lighting – We’ll teach you how to use existing lighting to your advantage (Hello, black dogs!), the best times of the day to shoot, and how to shoot anytime. It’s all about the lighting, after all. [beginner - intermediate]
Composition – We’ll teach you how to compose your images more aesthetically, using different elements of design, what to look for, when to shoot, and how to “see”. [all levels, recommended pre-requisites: Your Camera 101 & Lighting]
*Please note that all classes will review all 3 subjects with greater attention to its titled emphasis.
Each workshop will give you some nice surprises for your new dog photog persona. We’ll have you out of automatic and into some nice work. Private sessions also available.
BONUS: Receive 20% off when you pre-register (before August 31st) for any one of our workshops. YAY!
Please also note that because of the limited number of spots in class, you must make reservations to be included. First come, first serve.
