Photography Workshop for Beginning DSLR Photographers to be held at Gordonia-Alatamaha State Park

March 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Do you want to become comfortable with your digital SLR camera so you can capture the beauty of the outdoors? A workshop titled Outdoor Photography for Beginning Digital SLR Photographers arrives at Gordonia-Alatamaha State Park in May 2012 that will help new digital SLR photographers demystify the hundreds of camera settings.

Georgia photographer, Jackie DeBusk, who was awarded and completed a 2012 Artist-in-Residence with South Carolina State Parks, will conduct the workshop twice on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at the Gordonia-Alatamaha State Park Group Shelter. The morning session is from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and the afternoon session is from 1:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.

Join DeBusk and allow her to provide technical terms in easy-to-understand language. Within a few hours, participants will become capable of setting exposure, metering, and focus area on their digital SLR cameras, as well as they will learn to apply creative composition principles. Attendees will discover how to set white balance and how to use a histogram, also.

The workshop includes three hours of instruction with a visual presentation, hands-on activities, and a booklet to keep. After the workshop, participants head out into the park to apply their newfound knowledge and skills.

The workshop is limited to 30 seats per session. Pre-registering and pre-paying are recommended. Register by calling instructor Jackie DeBusk at 912-580-5308 or register online at www.debuskphoto.com/Register.html.
