Nikon School Jan 7 - 8, 2012

Nikon School has been running for over 30 years, 100’s of thousands of folks have experienced and learned from it. You are taught by 2 very fine teachers with years of photo experience and world traveled.  Things you hear and learn will stay with you for years to come.  A full day (9-5, nice lunch is included) at a great venue.  Regis College in Weston, easy access from the Mass Pike and Rt 95/128.  Very comfortable auditorium where you can experience and enjoy learning about digital photography in a banked auditorium setting.  This will be the only appearance of Nikon School in the Boston / New England area for 2012.

Each day is different, in a nutshell…. Saturday, January 7^th, is more about taking pictures, Sunday, January 8^th, is more about, “what to do with them afterwards”.   A great day (or weekend) in early January.  A treat for yourself (or a great gift for someone else)
