Canon Photography Workshop


In addition to the photography classes we have coming up this weekend, Lance Folden, Canon Product Educator, will be visiting the stores again at the end of September to put on a free workshop for our customers. Lance is a great guy to talk to and his visits are always quite educational. These free workshops are a great opportunity to learn more about the Canon DSLR products that you may already have or are interested in getting, as wells as to help polish some basic camera skills.

Keep in mind, this workshop will be quite different from the upcoming Maui classes on Saturday and Sunday, and will be strictly Canon-oriented. The workshops held by Lance are of a more general informational scope, while the classes taught by Krystle will be a much more in-depth teaching of actual photography techniques.

Last time, Lance taught us all how to navigate and properly use our external speedlites and about how different lenses can affect our photography. This time, we'd like some feedback from you as to what you'd be most interested in learning from Lance. Check out the course descriptions below and vote in our poll to help us decide! Then head over to our Facebook page and RSVP for the seminar being held at your location if you'd like to attend!
