April 9th, 2011 - Field Trip : Richmond Weekend: Bryan Peterson's Presentation and/or Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens
Bryan Peterson's Presentation 

April 9, 2011

The Camera Club of Richmond is celebrating its 80th anniversary by presenting a full day presentation by Bryan Peterson. This will take place at the Byrd Theater, in the heart of the "Carytown" section of Richmond.   Tickets are $60.00, lunch is an additional $10.00.
 
Within the first 30 minutes of this Workshop, you'll learn the difference between a correct exposure and a creatively correct exposure; within an hour, you'll have a firm grasp on the relationship between f/stops, shutter speeds and ISO. Bryan also takes you on a fantastic journey into the world of creative exposures where the shutter speed is King; freezing action, implying motion, panning and the basics of using "rear curtain sync/second curtain sync" with your flash.

Parking is limited.  Personally, I am not planning to go down Friday night, but I would like to meet at the Best Western on Saturday morning at 7:45 am and carpool to the Byrd Theater at 8:15 am.
