Wanna hear what past attendees have to say about the workshop? Read on!<br /><br />"Dale, your workshop was so much fun!!! You're really funny, too. It was nice to be among other photographers while listening to you share a lot of cool stuff with us. I came home and played on my photoshop and was actually able to do one of the tips you shared & looking forward to tying the other tips-thanks! Can't wait to receive those actions I purchased. The food was awesome, thanks Mere! <br />Sincerely,<br />Fran"<br /><br /><br />"Had SO much fun at the workshop! I cannot wait to shoot some cheerleading pics this afternoon and edit them! Before the class I was scared to use Photoshop Elements... now, I'm excited about it! Thanks for making it a great experience! I cannot wait for the next class!" - Tiffany<br /><br />"Just wanted to thank the both of you for a great workshop. I was so pleasantly surprised that you were able to teach to many different levels - from my mom with her point-and-shoot camera to my (limited) DSLR knowledge - we all walked away with new tricks we couldn't wait to use! Thanks for staying after to answer one-on-one questions, and for your delicious dinner recommendation. Fayetteville is lovely, and your class was packed with fun and tons of information. I couldn't have planned a better mom-and-the-girls weekend if I tried!" - Jennifer<br /><br />"I just wanted to send a quick note thanking you for the AMAZING workshop on Saturday. My husband kept asking me how it went and I just kept saying, “my mind is officially blown!” Not only did I have SO much fun, but I still can’t get over how much I learned. I’ve been using my camera for about 9 months and learned more about the functions and capabilities of my camera in your one-day workshop than I EVER would have been able to figure out on my own. I left on Saturday with a whole new appreciation for photography as well as a desire to keep learning. I HOPE HOPE HOPE you’ll decide to do more workshops like this…..consider me signed up!" - Laura<br /><br /><div id="fb-root"></div><br /><script>(function(d, s, id) {<br /> var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];<br /> if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}<br /> js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;<br /> js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";<br /> fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);<br />}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><br /><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://benfieldphotography.blogspot.com/2011/10/workshop-sign-up-is-live-shoot-your.html" data-send="true" data-width="820" data-show-faces="true"></div><br /><div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://benfieldphotography.blogspot.com/2011/10/workshop-sign-up-is-live-shoot-your.html" data-num-posts="5" data-width="820"></div>

Shoot Your Kids #4: recap

Hey everybody! Today is my 795th straight day of blogging!<br /><br />Today I had the privilege of teacher a dozen more moms (it was at my house again) how to use their cameras and take rockin' pics of their kiddos! Each camera mom workshop I teach is slightly different and, dare I say, better, than the one before it. I can easily say that each of our attendees from today left here knowing how to set her camera manually and how to override automatic functions of the foolish in-camera light meter. In addition, they know what f-stops are, shutter speeds are, and a slew of great tips for making better pictures of children.<br /><br />Yay for today's group!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/syk4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:left; float:left;margin-right:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="561" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/syk4.jpg" width="800" /></a></div>Like that backdrop?

Shoot Your Kids: Winter Edition!

Hey everybody!<br /><br />We had a fabulous group today for the Shoot Your Kids workshop at our house. I really like the smaller group setting because I got to spend a little more time with the attendees (and didn't have to bring along the entire staff). <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0122_syk/sykGroup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0122_syk/sykGroup.jpg" width="800" /></a></div><br />We ordered in Stone Mill and Meredith whipped up some baked brie and other goodies.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0122_syk/sykFood1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0122_syk/sykFood1.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0122_syk/sykFood2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0122_syk/sykFood2.jpg" width="800" /></a></div><br />Then Ellie, er Elizabeth, busted out her mad modeling skills for the group. Here's one of my favorites.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0122_syk/sykEllie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" src="http://www.benfieldphoto.com/11Blog/0122_syk/sykEllie.jpg" width="600" /></a></div><br />I'm considering doing another one of these in March if I get enough feedback - if you're interested email me or leave me a comment below and we'll see if I can find the room in the schedule.<br /><br />Talk to you soon,<br />Dale
