Digital Camera Basics for Artists

We survived! We learned! WE ACTUALLY READ OUR CAMERA MANUALS!
Photographer extraordinaire, Sheree Zeilke gave us great insight into our camera menus and what our DSL's and Point and Shoots could actually do. There were plenty of " I didn't know my camera could do that!" and 'How did I do this?" "cooooool" and " look how easy they made this for us!"
This afternoon was the last 2 hours of getting to know our camera....very important equipment for artists. Sheree gave us helpful handouts, special photography tips for artists, cheat sheets of terms and how to explore the scene mode etc!
The big realization was that we have alot more going on in our cameras than AUTO!

Sheree will be holding a second class due to high demand on Sat June 13/20 from 1:00-3:00 limited to 12 students. If you don't get into this class please leave you name and number...we may hold a third class for those that missed out!
Sheree is also ready to do DSL Only and Point and Shoot Only classes if enough students sign up. Sheree does photo safaris and personal mentoring sessions as well.( This is FUN STUFF!)
Check her out! Sheree has her work posted on www.flickr.com name: hadassah28 . We saw her photographs of a vixen and kits taken in Riel Park a few says ago. Her photos has gotten world wide attention on the Flickr site!
While you are at Flickr consider opening up a Flickr site for yourself and share photos of your art work / other things with a world wide community!
Many thanks Sheree! It was a blast!
PS Sheree has published a book of her photographs and the stories/inspiration behind them. She also writes a travel blog -www.blog-picajet.com
