Page 1 of 4 * Affecting Depth Of Field * USB Effects * The EV Answer * What's In A Name? Making A Workshop Work Q) Ive been doing more and more with my digital photography. Ive decided that I need some more personal instruction, so Ive signed up for a workshop. While its still a few months away, Im a little nervous about it. How do I get the most out of it? B. Turner Milwaukee, Wisconsin A) Thats great that you want to learn more, and I cant think of a better way to increase your skill than by attending a workshop. Rather than give you just my opinion of how to get the most out of the experience, I decided to get opinions from several people who actually put on workshops. The first three who came to mind were my PCPhoto colleagues George Lepp, Rick Sammon and Rob Sheppard. They all lead a variety of workshops and deal with students of all skill levels. I approached each of them with this question: What are the three most common mistakes that youd let students know about in order to prepare for a workshop? George Lepp (www.leppinstitute.com) mentioned that students need to confirm they read all of the course information sent to them. Make sure you know what to bring (and what not to bring) and what to expect. In other words: Be prepared. If you still have questions after reading the information, get in touch with the workshop leader. |
