Spend 2 hours on Zoom in a small group or in a private one-on-one session with WPS founder and professional architectural photographer E. David Luria who will be happy to address YOUR photography issues on the kind of questions that we get all the time, such as:
- I want to take up photography as a hobby. What kind of camera should I get?
- Why should I buy an expensive camera when my phone does such a good job taking pictures?
- What can a camera do that a phone can’t do?
- What can a phone do that a camera can’t do?
- Why should I use a bracket to steady my phone?
- Why do you keep telling clients to get “low and close” to their subjects?
- What’s the correct white balance to capture the accurate color of stained glass windows in churches?
- Should I buy my camera equipment in a store, or online?
- What are the best places for picture taking in Washington DC?
- Is “auto white balance ” the best option for pictures in any lighting situation?
- My pictures are often blurry. What am I doing wrong?
- I think a lot of my landscape shots are boring, not as pretty as what I saw when I was there. What can I do about that?
- What the heck is ISO And why does it matter?
- Sometimes my auto focus does not work, it keeps zooming in and out and doesn’t lock. How can I fix that?
- Why are those f-stop numbers so confusing? The big number is a small hole, and the small number is a big hole!
- I love my daytime pictures, but the nighttime ones are blurry. What can I do about that?
- My son has a really good eye and takes great pictures. What can I do to help him develop these skills into a great hobby?
- My daughter does ballet. I would love to capture her in mid leap, but I’m having trouble doing that. Suggestions?
- Why do so many of my indoor pictures have a yellow cast?
- I’m looking at turning my hobby of photography into a sideline career that provides some extra income. Can you give me suggestions on how to do that?
- I love taking pictures of people, it makes them happy, and it makes me happy. What can I do to make these pictures better?
- Why should I use my camera in Manual mode? It’s scary, and I’m afraid of screwing up my pictures!
- There are a couple of spots on all my pictures. I’ve cleaned off the lenses, why am I still getting these spots?
- I love taking pictures of my family at holiday time and at family reunions. How can I make these pictures more impactful? And what’s the best way to share them with many family members?
What questions do YOU have?
David says, “Hey, I’m a Dad! And like many Dads, if I don’t know the answer, I’ll just make one up!”
