Develop your own visual style

Have you ever said, “If only I had a better camera, then I could take better photographs?

Well you would be wrong in thinking that cameras make great photographs. It is your vision that makes better photographs! The number one tools for photographers are your eyes and your brain. And if you know how to visually see the image then you can make great photographs with any kind of a camera.

On Saturday, June 13^th, The Creative Light is offering you an opportunity to learn how to jump start your visual creativity and make better images. This workshop is about those compositional elements that will help you transform your photographs. Things like Rules of Thirds, line, shape, texture, balance and more will all be discussed. Nancy Cavender-Garcia will be the instructor and she has been teaching photography and art since 1998. If you are wondering about her as an instructor you can go to www.facebook.com/thecreativelightinfo and read reviews from previous students.

Come join us and in four hours we will work at developing your own personal vision!

See www.thecreativelight.info for more information about the workshop and/or call Nancy Cavender-Garcia 210-367-0724 with any questions.

Lots of Learning Going On!

Tom Turner discussing off camera flash

A fun and educational time was had by all during The Creative Light’s first workshop on Saturday, May 23^rd. Tom Turner, instructor, brought loads of equipment and the students, Nancy Damron, Joyce Seibel, and Alexei Wood, all spent four hours learning and experimenting with off camera flashes.

When asked what she thought Tom Turner’s greatest strength was as an instructor, student Joyce Seibel said, “Personable. Tom was easy going and down to earth. I found him easy to communicate with and I loved that he interacted so well with all of us”.

How to Use Your Digital Camera!

How to use your Digital Camera!

Have you ever thought that your digital SLR camera might be smarter than you? Would you like to learn how to actually control your camera and take your photographs on manual? Well here is your opportunity to learn how to do just that. In four hours you will learn the basics of your manual controls and how you can use them to create even better images than you do now.

For example, you will learn how to put Depth of Field to work to create the images you see in your head. Did you know that the definition of Depth of Field is – the distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image. We will go into this in depth so you can use it in your own images.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call Nancy at 210-367-0724 for answers. If there is anything Nancy likes to talk about it is photography. And for more information on the class such as when or where take a look on Class Page. And in the meantime pick up your camera and go out and shoot!
