Did you know your camera's meter "lies" to you most of the time? Learn how to know when it does and what to do about it.<br /><br />When you use your camera on any of the Automatic settings, you're letting your camera do the thinking.

(It doesn't think the way most people think it does.)</li><br /><li>When to choose which F/Stops and Shutter Speeds</li><br /><li>The pros and cons of the different ISOs ... and ...</li><br /><li>Where to focus to get the effect you want</li></ol><br />At this half-day workshop you WILL learn how to get your ISOs, Shutter Speeds and F-Stops to do their "dance" without stumbling!<br />Participate in several hands-on demos that IMPRINT the lessons!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8713126468308878032-6179941086452841221?l=exposureexposed.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bruce "B-Dub" Hinsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04685670819589326986noreply@blogger.com
