​
Two-Session Photo Workshop
Lights of the Season: Inside/Outside
​
Fridays 7:00 - 8:30 12/13 and 12/20
It's dark outside, but we are thinking "Light." This time of year brings so many opportunities to appreciate and capture the very special and festive lights of the season, from Chanukah menorahs to streets festooned in holiday lights This workshop will offer tips on the best ways to photograph these various manifestations of light. Managing exposure, white balance, point of focus and shutter speed and even introducing the trusty tripod, will bring these holiday pictures to life. First session for discussion and second session to share your work from the intervening week.

Sunday 3:00 4:30 December 12/29
These are very friendly, relaxed get-togethers at my apartment in Lansdowne. Photographers of all levels are welcome to share pictures, get photography tips, and discuss camera equipment. You can also get ideas for entering photography contests, submitting to photography magazines and having photo shows. Feedback from the group provides encouragement and inspiration to go out and take more pictures. These informal photography critiques offer an excellent opportunity to start identifying themes in your work and to get ideas for new directions. Group size is limited, so if you can come an RSVP is required by email or call (610) 626-7854. Cost is $10. These Salons often fill-up,
so it's best to get your spot early
