1/7/2021 @5pm Freezing Action: Sports Photography with Armando Flores
Join Pro Photographer and Tamron Technical Representative Armando Flores for a fast-paced seminar with tips for making great lens choices and techniques for shooting your next sporting event. Learn how to use existing and artificial light to your advantage, even in challenging situations. Find out how to use aperture and focal length to control and soften backgrounds. See how your vantage point, perspective, and color work together to create compelling images. Armando will discuss composition basics, using the right shutter speeds, apertures, and ISO settings, plus the right accessories such as custom color balance tools to "do it right in the field" saving time in your post-processing activities. - Tamron

1/14/2021 @5pm The Art of Travel Photography and Storytelling with Erica Robinson
In my mind, travel photography is a broad genre covering so many bases. It’s an incorporation of landscape, environmental portrait, wildlife, street photography, and storytelling, all rolled into one. And because travel photographers are naturally wandering souls, we strive to document the world around us in its purest form. And share stories! During this travel and storytelling seminar, we will discuss how to build a photograph with our composition while being sure we know our cameras settings, as well as understanding our location, and how to show stories within our travel photographs. Time to think outside of the box and get creative! - Tamron
