All-Digital Photo Safari (Beginner Level)
Saturday, March 3, 2012 | 10:00 am-1:15 pm
Are you new to digital photography? Do you need help figuring out how to use the many widgets and gadgets of your new camera which does everything but make coffee? Join Washington Photo Safari’s all-digital Safari designed to give you outdoor/indoor fieldwork experience and training in such technical areas as white balance, mixed lighting, exposure compensation, film speed settings, etc.
Conducted by professional photographer and digital camera specialist Melanie Otto, this Safari will take you through the interior and exterior photographic challenges presented by the National Museum of Natural History, the National Sculpture Garden, and the adjoining National Gallery of Art.
Here is a comment made by clients who attended a recent workshop taught by Melanie Otto:
“Just a note to say how fabulous Melanie Otto is - our Canon class with her today at the American Indian Museum far surpassed any expectations we had, and we can’t wait to take another class with your group.Melanie went above and beyond to answer any questions (believe me, we had a few!) and was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the day, to include the museum itself. Again, we couldn’t have wished for a more entertaining and thorough experience. The teaching aids used were also a valuable part of the class - it really helps to hear it, see it, then practice it and critique.
“We are very impressed and will highly recommend your service to anyone seeking photography instruction. Thank you!”
—Danielle Corazza and Carol Whitney
