FREE iPhoneography Workshop online - January 5-6, 2012

Yes, you read that correctly. This online 2-day workshop by CreativeLive features Jack Hollingsworth, an experienced commercial photographer who now works with all things iPhone - ebooks, podcasts, webinars, apps, workshops, photo tours....


Typically CreativeLive workshops are broadcast during the working day, with a full repeat shown each evening. This isn't a commercial, just an enthusiastic suggestion that you check into this offering. I've enjoyed and benefitted from two previous CreativeLive workshops and can't wait for this one.


Here's the LINK for more information and an easy enrollment process. Just in cast that link doesn't get you there, here's the URL all spelled out.

My iPhone Camera Project - Part 3


Our table yesterday at Alki Beach's Cactus Restaurant was under bright, indoor lighting and I used the iPhone's Auto settings all the way. I've stalled in the easy zone of iPhone photography, just taking quick snapshots, so it's time to break out and shoot with more courage. Thoughtful courage? 


Here's a baseline sample of my before shots... before the iPhoneography workshop. Some after shots will show up later on in January. What a perfect excuse to revisit Cactus.

Free 3-Day Food Photography Workshop

May 13-14-15

FREE Food Photography Workshop starts Friday!

Join Penny De Los Santos in a three-day online Food Photography Course 

http://www.creativelive.com/courses/food-photography-penny-de-los-santos

Check it out and sign up immediately if you're interested. No, this isn't a commercial, it's more like a heads up on an opportunity. I"m looking forward to participating on Friday, and the rest of the weekend if the class is terrific and if we're still in port. 

  

I had seen the announcement last month and was excited about a workshop based in Seattle. Penny De Los Santos is a remarkably talented photographer. Her images are distinctive, recognizable even before you see the credits. This workshop would be an opportunity to gain tips and insights from a master, to watch her in action instead of just reading a how-to article. But scheduling presented a problem. We are usually cruising in Alaska by mid-May, without an internet connection, so why bother thinking about it. When Ree (thepioneerwoman) wrote a post this week about the workshop I grew excited all over again. We will be in town, at a marina, with wi-fi and maybe, just maybe BBXpress will give me a fast, solid connection hour after hour, for three days, over a long weekend. It's worth a try. 

While my primary focus will always be on cooking and enjoying a meal, I'd like to post images that reflect the experience. You know, in focus and appealing. I'm hoping for magic here, a way to improve my food photography, yet allow me to enjoy food while it's still warm, not re-warmed.
