    This was wonderful and I learned what I wanted (basically how to use my camera settings). I am a true beginner. The other 2 at the sessions were definitely not beginners as they had studios and lots of experience. So I sat back because they were talking way over my head and had the fancy cameras and lenses. Brenda was absolutely awesome in checking on me though ? no complaints there whatsoever. I just didn?t feel this was a ?beginner? class all around.

    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.

    Title or Location: Southern Pines,NC
    The photograph was taken on the West Morganton Road overpass, overlooking Highway US 1. I have driven past this location numerous times and have always desired to capture this type of photograph. Therefore, I began watching YouTube videos on long exposure photography. Once I felt confident in the technique and the weather conditions were favorable, I embarked on a journey, hoping that my newly acquired knowledge would yield positive results.

But then he says " I want to make a recruiting poster for my unit can you add smoke, fire, and debris?" I said HELL YEAH! LET'S GO! This definitely was a fun shoot!To help everyone understand.

    Stumbled across this quaint little neighborhood park while driving around one day during my stay in Dunedin, FL. San Jose Park isn?t very large in size but it?s big on it?s view and peacefulness. It was such a great, quiet place to end the day and just be with your thoughts and relax while watching the sunset.
