Ladies,

Kathy is going to be teaching 3 classes. One of them is going to be a photography class on Saturday! If you have a moment and can look through some of the Canadian Scrapbooker issues, Kathy has a lot of her work in there right now. I can spot a Kathy layout a mile away because all of her photos are just stunning. Take a look and you will see what I mean. If I can sneak away from running the event... he he... you will find me in Kathy's photography class!

Next week we will start posting descriptions and hoping to have some images of the classes for you to all look at. There is going to be some fantastic classes being offered by these lovely & talented Canadian instructors!!

Hello ladies,

I know that all of you are anxiously waiting for class descriptions. They are going to be posted soon. However, in the meantime Lisa has given me permission to post the description for Kathy's "Photgraphy for Scrapbookers" class that she will be teaching at ScrapFest in April.

The class description is as follows.

It’s called “Photography for Scrapbookers” because there is more to good photography than the technically perfect shot, sometimes photos are emotionally perfect and we’ll touch on that too!

We will start with the basics and work our way up. We will briefly go over the parts of the camera, different types of cameras, types of lenses and which ones you need to get the shots you want, your camera modes (auto and creative), and our focus will be on light and that all important triangle: Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO – how they work together and how you can begin to capture the shots you want!

You will be taking your camera off of automatic and working in the creative modes!

We’ll talk about good photo composition, framing your shots, portable, inexpensive backdrops, white balance and we will close with the digital workflow – what to do with all those pictures you’ve taken, including both short and long term storage.

The aim this workshop is for you to leave better informed, more confident as a photographer and excited about taking pictures! It’s fast paced but that’s ok, because everyone leaves with a 75+ slide presentation on CD as well as a printed handout, covering everything we discuss in the class!
So charge those batteries, grab that manual (yep, you’ll need it after all!), have some strong coffee and prepare for a few ‘a-ha’ moments!!! Oh, and grab that lip gloss because you’ll be appearing in a few shots too!!!

Anyhow, I hope that this helps satisfy your curosity (at least for a short time).

Looking forward to seeing everyone in April

Sandra
