Night & outdoor photography among F-11 workshops
F-11 Photographic Supplies’ information and experience-rich classes are back in full swing! Ripe with opportunities to get a handle on your devices and interact with knowledgeable instructors, here’s a look at what’s coming up.
Photo Organizing 101 will take place on Wednesday, October 18th with instructors Brooke Welch and Kendall Roth from 6–7pm.
Remember sitting down and looking at printed images beautifully displayed in a photo album? It’s not quite the same zipping through photos stored on your smart phone or tablet device. Learn how to enjoy your digital photos from the moment of capture — and for years to come. Preserve your memories!
This presentation will focus on simple solutions for organizing both your digital images and any prints you have tucked away in a drawer. Get inspired with innovative ways to both safeguard and enjoy your images. Learn organizing methods that make it simpler to find the photo you want, when you want, to let sharing and enjoying your images be an active part of your life and your relationships. Registration is $24.99, and $14.99 for F-11 VIP members.
Painting with Light follows on Friday, October 20th from 6–8pm.
It’s eerie, but you really can get great images after sunset. Join instructor Jon Shaver, if you dare, and do a little after dark shooting. Break out a flashlight and do some painting with light, discuss non-flashlight lighting options, and get creative with colors. Have fun exploring the endless options available to you with night photography AND a whole lot more that can only be discovered by being there. Registration is $49.99, and $39.99 for F-11 VIP members.
A Night Photography Workshop with instructor Jon Shaver is set for Saturday, October 21st from 6–10pm.
This four-hour workshop will help you to see and photograph the night sky in a new way. The evening kicks off with a lecture covering techniques for capturing your best sunset and night sky images. Afterwards, the group will carpool to a private location to photograph. In the field you’ll be able to develop newly learned technical skills and hone in on your vision. The shoot is rain or shine, so come prepared for whatever Mother Nature dishes out. No worries if weather prevents photographing the night’s skies — there are several contingencies in place. Registration is $99.99, and $89.99 for F-11 VIP members.
Get a handle on Landscape + Critters Photography with an adventurous workshop on Wednesday, October 25th from 6–8:30pm.
Wild about landscape and wildlife photography? Join wild man Jon Shaver and learn what gear is best suited for your needs. Jon guides photography workshops in the US and abroad, specializing in this particular genre.
Tour the tools and techniques you need to use in the field to get better images. Discuss animal behavior, technical and artistic aspects in composition, and much more. What does it mean to “get better images?” What do you really want to capture in your landscape shots? Jon can help you get clear on these essential questions. Registration is $62.99, and $52.99 for F-11 VIP members.
Looking to next month, free workshop Passwords, Passwords, Passwords will run from 10–11am on Saturday, November 4th.
Have password weariness? Sometimes it does seem like every step you take online requires a password. It’s tempting to use something that’s easy to remember and type, like “password” or “baseball,” or to reuse a password you’ve used on dozens of other sites. But with hacking and password theft on the rise, that’s risky. A sound password strategy gives you a combination of security (passwords that are sufficiently complex to resist guessing by humans or computers) and ease of use (not having to remember and constantly peck out long strings of random gibberish).
Get the essentials on how to best manage your passwords — how to create them, when to share, when to update, how best to enter them, and more. Go home with risk reduction strategies you can use immediately.
Preregistration is required for ALL classes. Visit www.f11photo.com, call (406) 586-3281, or stop by the store at 2612 W. Main St., Suite A, to register. Additional technical requirements may apply. See website for further details. •
