Taking Better Pictures Workshop at South Portland Community Center

Spring Point Ledge Light, December 2011

Happy New Year everyone!  I just wanted to let you all know that I am giving a photographic workshop at South Portland Community Center on learning to take better pictures that begins towards the end of January.  You can see the brochure and sign up online here But here is the description and information below:

Do you wonder how to take compelling pictures of you children, pets or family gatherings?  Ever wish you could take a picture of a beautiful flower?  Wish you could capture a gorgeous sunset the way you’re seeing it so you can show it off later?  If you want to understand how to use your camera to take better pictures, then this is the workshop for you!  It doesn’t matter what level you are at photographically, or whether you have a point and shoot, film or dSLR camera, the principals of composition, creativity and technique remain the same. 

The workshop will not only discuss how to get better pictures through technique and composition, but we will also do some photography in and out of class and learn from our own work what works and how photos could be improved. 

Bring whatever camera you have to class and learn how to take better pictures with Portland Magazine photographer, Cynthia Farr-Weinfeld.

Tuesdays, January 24-February 14, 2011 6:30-8:30pm $45.00

I am also giving a second workshop that begins towards the end of February called Taking Better Pictures II.  Here are the description and information below:

Taking Better Pictures II

Want to learn more about how to use your camera to capture better shots of your family, pets, landscapes, flowers and travel destinations?  This four week workshop will build on techniques learned in Taking Better Pictures I, so it would be preferable to have taken the first workshop.  Once again, there will be in-class photo exercises, discussion, and weekly assignments for you to learn more by taking pictures on your own.  Sharing your work in class with the use of a private online photo group, you will learn what works and how to create better photos. 

Bring whatever camera you have to class and learn how to take better pictures with Portland Magazine photographer, Cynthia Farr-Weinfeld.

Who will benefit from this workshop:  Absolute beginners to Intermediate level photographers.

Class Minimum/Maximum: 5/15

Whether you are interested in learning to take better pictures or just know someone who might be interested, I would love it if you would forward this blog post to your friends and relatives in the area to really get the word out.  Thanks for your help!
