First photography workshop in Utah

Ratish Naroor — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 05:33:32 +0000

I am really glad today. I did my first photography workshop this weekend and I will call it as great success. Even though there was a good turn around when I published that I am planning for my workshop, four friends decided to keep their Sunday for the workshop. All the rest of the interested people have asked for another day this year, but I guess I won’t be doing another one in 2011.
The workshop started with discussing the basics of photography, the top required skills for photography, equipment etc. I selected a few of my best shots in various category (portrait, landscape, wildlife , lighting etc). Then we started taking a few pictures in the apartment gardens. They followed my words and decided to shoot only in Manual mode, making an end to the use of auto mode. We also drove to Red butte gardens and the sugar house park , the rest of the day taking tons of pictures. Here are some of the pictures that my STUDENTS (sigh ) shot that day. Check out how well they shot the pictures with a few hours of training. Great work guys.

As promised , Jeff Kerkman from Adinfini (Wisconsin) sent me the final design for the flyer they designed for the Harley Davidson company in Wisconsin using one of my picture taken last winter (Harley in Snow). And I am really happy to see one of my pictures being used for company flyer for the first time . This is truly a better way to earn some money to upgrade my camera equipments and I think I should be thinking about it seriously .
