Kathleen Honnick sent me the three images below which she created on this class. She also sent this note: "I have a passion for travel. There have been some beautiful places and special moments where I have missed "opportunity shots" because I didn't know how to set my camera properly. It was such a disappointment time and time again to not be able to truly capture the moment or the scene. After taking the beginners class, I now know enough to not have that happen again. I can't wait to take the second level class to build on my new skills!!"
Sarah McLoughlin sent me the two images below which she created on this class. She also sent this note: "JP's Introduction to Photography class was wonderful fun. Arriving with my pocket size Canon point 'n shoot camera, I was initially mortified when faced with the monsterous SLR cameras being hauled about by most of the other participants. Happily I soon learned that they were as much in the dark as I was about what goes on inside the device. And so, off we went into Central Park where JP explained the basic technology that all cameras use in taking a photo and how we can use this technology to create the shot we desire. It was very informative and satisfying. JP modified each aspect taking into account those with the SLR beasts, and those of us with our point and shoot cameras. I was very pleased with the quality I was able to produce and felt I was starting out at the right level. In fact, one participant said to me that he whilst he loves his SLR that he does not carry it everywhere and would love to redo the class with his pocket camera. JP explained and re-explained all aspects covered to ensure we understood, or attempted to understand what was going on. It was extremely worthwhile, in a lovely setting, with a talented teacher."
