SPECIAL EVENTS

Tamron Teaching Program
Ken Hubbard (NY) How to Improve your Travel and Landscape Photography: Choosing the Right Lens
Geared to photographers who want to learn to take better images of the subjects that mean the most to them. This seminar will take you from the first steps of choosing what lens to use to evaluating your scene all the way to the final output in print.  Ken will also discuss how to make the most of a somewhat less than ideal situation, such as shooting in the middle of the day, and distracting elements in a scene. This seminar is meant to improve your images from a quick snapshot to gallery worthy. (B, I)

Canon Teaching Programs
Barbara Ellison (VA) Alternative Printing
Creating your image is just the beginning. Printing is the completion. Barbara will discuss substrate choices – from the traditional inkjet papers to the alternatives including
wood, metal and silk. She will discuss the options for showing your work, from small art books to large canvas prints. Making the right choice in printing can set your work apart from other artists and complete your vision. (B, I, A)
