We know a lot of our readers are amateur photographers with a lot of artistic talent, but searching for know-how when it comes to the nuts and bolts of photography! Which is why we’re thrilled to tell you about a local beginner how-to-take better-photos class happening in THIS MONTH: 1-4:30 PM Sat. Nov. 10.

Topics the class will cover include:

-10 Tips for Taking Better Photos -Introduction to Exposure -ISO -Shutter Speed -Aperture -Training Wheels -Using your Camera’s Basic Settings -Lens Overview

Q: How much are the workshops and what do they include?

A: The three hour group class is $135 per person (don’t worry you can pay half down if you’d like) and includes light refreshments and lots of other goodies. Each person will receive a class guide to keep as a reference. You will also receive a fabulous swag bag! Class size is limited to ONLY 7 people so everyone will have an opportunity to ask specific questions.

Q: I don’t have a fancy DSLR camera, but I love photography and want to take better pictures with my point and shoot. Can I still come?

A: Yes, we would still love to have you! However, there will be a couple subjects we go over that will be strictly about DSLR cameras, such as lens choices and functions that your camera may not have. But most the subjects can be used for people with DSLR’s and Point and Shoots!

Q: Do I have to be a mom to sign up for your workshop?

A: No, you do not. Although the majority of the class will be moms with young children, we respect that other will want to join in as well. No matter who you are, if you want to learn how to take better pictures of kids, you are more than welcome to attend.

Q: Can I host one of these workshops at my house?

A: If you live in Rincon, GA or Savannah, GA, yes you can! We charge $125 per person for house parties with a minimum of 5 people. So if you get 5 of your friends to come to your pad for a workshop, you don’t have to pay anything!

Q: Do you offer special discounts if I get a bunch of my friends to sign up?

A: Yes we do! If you get 5 people to attend our workshop, you’re in free! If you get 3 people registered, we give you $50 off!

Sign up here for their next workshop, 1-4:30 PM Sat. Nov. 10 2012. And check our their professional work also here: www.shumanfineartphotography.com For more information, email Jillane Tucker at jillanes@shumanphoto.com or call 912.826.4447.

Chris Blaine, well known for his hair-raising campfire stories filled with monsters, ghouls and ghosts were originally given during Scout camping events in order to get the boys in their zipped tent, in a sleeping bag, quiet and with lights out. The series of scary short stories were taken from an oral format, set in the woods at night with Mr. Blaine’s using numerous props and, after prompting, placed into a written format some years later. A portion of the proceeds has been and will continue to be given to the Boy Scouts.

Please like Barnett on Facebook here to stay updated on their events/sales.
