"Jim's class proved incredibly helpful, covering many specific techniques employed by professional photographers that weren't in any of the dozens of books I owned. Jim's class helped me to develop technically, and the results were instantly apparent." - Jeremy B "Your classes made the business of photography understandable and exciting. In my case, the way you simplified the creation of images that impact the viewer, has made my efforts rewarding spiritually and financially." - Bob L "It's clear how passionate you are about photography. You get the class excited too. You give great amounts of info, all useful. Thanks for everything!" - Wendy "Great enthusiasm, attitude, knowledge, supportive. Great information." - Clare "Jim is very organized and the most informative instructor I've had." - Pam D "Wonderful class. Presentation informative with high energy and enthusiasm.

Outdoor Photography Workshop: Gibraltar Island, Lake Erie Workshop Leaders:
Sponsored by Ohio State University's prestigious Stone Laboratory on Gibraltar Island near scenic Put-in-Bay, Ohio. Spend a fun and exciting weekend on Gibraltar island while learning to take your outdoor
photography to the next level. You'll receive both one-on-one "real time" instruction in the field, as well as intensive classroom preparation. In the classroom sessions, you will
learn the simple steps that make the difference between ordinary snapshots and extraordinary photos. Minutes later you will be outside practicing those steps with the
help of the workshop instructors. You will receive individual, practical, coaching. Best of all, you will go home knowing how to create eye-catching images!
BRING Your digital camera, camera manual, a tripod, and a small flashlight or headlamp for our night shoots, extra batteries and your charger, and a jacket. It would also be helpful (but not required) if you bring a laptop to display and work on your images. BEFORE YOU COME If you are new to photography or have a new camera, go through your camera's manual prior to the workshop so you are well acquainted with its basic and less well known functions. If your camera has "mirror lock up", "depth of field preview" or a "live view" mode, be sure and check them out.
