Back Porch Memories

Have you ever taken a photography class...online or in a classroom?

I never have...but I sure do want to!! Really, really bad!

I did a great hunt for a few weeks for an online class, but eventually just gave up. Karen Russell has an amazing workshop. (the next one is in September.) But the thought of spending $400 for an online workshop is just overwhelming. Then I found another one at Big Picture Classes that wasn't but $50., but it's more on technique rather than the whole technical aspect of it that I really want (need).

Our local little tech. college is doing a 5 day workshop in October. It's a good 80 mile drive everyday...but that looks like it might be my best option.

Tell us what you've done!

I want to take one, too! I also think I need an in-person, hands-on class. I love online classes for the most part, but I do think I'd learn more in person (especially being accountable going to class as it's way easy to get behind in online ones).

I looked into taking a class a few years ago, but I couldn't get it to work with my schedule. I really need to look into it again!

I'm with you gals. I would LOVE to take a photography class, but I always debate as to whether to take an online class or an actual class you have to attend. Some of those classes online look great, but then the price scares me... I think Maggie Holmes photography class is something like $200 and some. I know Karen Russel is good and her price is up there, too!

I have one downloaded from BPS....I think it was $90.

I Have never taken one, but would LOVE to. I also LOVE Karen Russel and her amazing photography skillz...but your are right about the $400...it is quite expensive. I do follow her blog and try some self teaching methods...I do study her work in other words! LOLOL

After seeing this post, I really was wanting to take an online class. Wouldn't you know that one was offered at Jessica Sprague that is taught by Candice Stringham called
Oh Shoot. Well, I took the plunge and signed up for the standard class. I know a little bit about my camera, but I'm hoping to learn a whole lot more of what it's/I'm capable of!

Ok Tami...when hubby asks what this $126 is on his CC bill, well, I am just going to tell him that YOU made me do it.
I guess you and I can "go to class together"

I have BEEN looking, and NOTHING has been inexpensive enough for me to do it...until this one. I truly hope I learn something! I am now looking forward to class again! LOL I can't wait!

Me, too! I looked at the pre-class thing today, and I have been contemplating buying a 50 mm lens. Hubby was searching Ebay for me! LOL.
I have 3 lenses, and the closest one that I have to what she recommended is my 18-55mm that came with the camera. NO prime lenses though.

You will LOVE a 50 mm lens. It's my favorite lens! I use it at least 80% of the time! It's great in bad light, it's great for photographing my scrappy LOs and cards (esp. cards because of the gorgeous bokeh), it's absolutley the best lens I have for taking portaits type photos in the house....for a few reasons...1) the backgrounds...rather than being just black or dark...the background color is great but very very blurred so that 2) you don't notice in the background if the house messy or cluttered. lol You will love the Bokeh you get from the 50 mm...plus they are really affordable! I just have a f/1.8 but it was only $130.
