    Really great session! I really valued the fluidity of Todd and his willingness to shift topics that I was interested in. (I signed up for the class mostly for the Flash discussions as the other topics I feel well versed on and he was willing to shift to what was important to me!

    Cheryl Vandegrift had great teaching strategies: printed visuals with verbal communication and hands on work, which tapped into the visual, audio and tactile learners. She gave us individual attention and inspired us to go beyond the print also by thinking about the end result of our photographs. She was able to challenge all the different learners in the group.

    Todd Daubenspeck
    I'm Todd and I have been enjoying creating great images for 30+ years, both professionally and personally. It's strange how all those years could race by but I suppose it is true about time flying when you're having fun!

    I enjoy all genres of photography and helping others learn the "mechanics" of photography, developing their personal style and helping everyone to step out of your comfort zone of what you enjoy shooting so that you can grow as a person and as a photographer.

    Todd Daubenspeck is available for private bookings

It was indeed a moment of pure enchantment.Gear:Sony a7riv with Sigma 105mm f1.4 DGAperture: f/5.6Shutter Speed: Between 1/200 and 1/320ISO: 200

    Title or Location: How Bridge Cemetery
    I heard there was a flock of Bohemian waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) at Howbridge Cemetery Atherton. Being a cemetery setting respect and care was taken using long lens from footpath. This bird is extremely photogenic and looks like a painting, the feathers are so fine the photos of them appear to be over edited but all I do is maybe crop and lightning.I always shoot in Raw info here Canon 7D 400mm f5.6 1/250, ISO500

    Title or Location: Home Yard
    I setup bird feeders at home including a hummingbird feeder. They are super active and are use to me being close to them so I grabbed my Canon R5 with my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens and placed myself within 8 feet from the feeder rendering great closeup shots while they feed and the late afternoon sun gives this Rufous hummingbird that beautiful glow
