Upcoming Canon and Nikon Classes

If you recently started taking photos with, are looking to buy, or have never felt comfortable with your Canon or Nikon Digital SLR, we have several upcoming classes to help you enjoy your camera.

On Tuesday, March 18th from 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm at the Westwood Community Center, we will be hosting Canon Discovery Day – Essential Functions of Your SLR Camera. Enter the world of the digital SLR and learn about your camera, and how to make great pictures with it. We’ll take you out of “automatic,” but we won’t overload you with too much detail.

You’ll see many examples of great photography, and learn techniques to use exposure, composition, flash, and a variety of lenses to get the same types of results. Our Basic Discovery Day class is a three-hour investment in your EOS digital SLR that will pay dividends over and over as you grow with your camera system.

During this course you will:

  • Become familiar with the operation and features of your EOS camera, and discover how and when to control them for dramatic results
  • Learn to expand your creative options, using different camera features and photographic techniques to evolve your pictures from snapshots to photographs
  • See actual examples of how Canon lenses and Speedlite flashes can be used to add impact to your pictures

Tickets for Canon Discover Day – Essential Functions of your SLR are available now on eventbrite or at Bergen County Camera in Westwood.

We have two upcoming Nikon Seminars. A Basic level seminar on April 2nd entitled, “Introduction to your SLR” and a Intermediate seminar on May 6th entitled, “Tips and Tricks”.

The Basic Level Class on April 2nd, covers the very basics of Auto mode, followed by how to get out of auto mode. The class focuses largely on scene modes and camera controls for exposure, white balance and focus. Composition and tips on improving photos are the main, non-technical areas that the class covers. This class is good for absolutely anyone with a camera, especially beginners and new DSLR owners.

Tickets for Nikon’s Basic Seminar on April 2nd are available now on Eventbrite or at Bergen County Camera in Westwood.

The Intermediate Class on May 6th, covers many of the topics that one might explore after learning the basics of camera terminology and exposure. Topics covered include flash photography, custom settings, lenses, autofocus settings, metering and more.

Tickets for Nikon’s Intermediate Seminar on May 6th are available now on Eventbrite or at Bergen County Camera in Westwood.

We hope you can join us for at least one of these excellent learning opportunities from Canon and Nikon.

Snow – Photographing Winter’s Majesty

The weekend’s precipitous frozen flurry presented a wondrous opportunity to capture the majesty of winter’s cloak. Armored in boots, cap and gloves, I marched into the white of Sunday morning’s golden light with my Nikon D-SLR and a spare battery, of course, warm and snug in the pocket of my Gortex jacket!

Strong diagonal rays and shadows accentuate a classic winter scene.
