Do you own a digital camera but aren’t happy with your pictures?
Do you want to take photos that make people say, 'Wow!”?
Do you feel intimidated by the huge learning curve for digital photography, and find yourself screaming, 'I'm not an idiot! Can't someone could just explain all this techno-babble in an easy-to-understand way?'
===============
Well, I think I can help. My name is Gary Friedman; I'm an ex-NASA guy turned professional photographer, and I run the stock photo website http://FriedmanArchives.com . I've also written several highly-acclaimed, easy-to-understand books on digital photography (centered around specific cameras), and now I'm taking my proven teaching techniques and bringing them back to Boston the weekend of May 14-15th. This two-day seminar introduces the basics and the details of taking “Wow!”-type photographs in a way that is both enjoyable and engaging, whether you have a fancy DSLR or a humble point-and-shoot.
The seminar is structured differently from almost all other photo courses -- Whereas most other courses bombard you with the technical stuff first, The Friedman Archives Seminars recognizes that modern cameras do a pretty good job with focusing and exposure, but do a miserable job with composition and the art aspect of photography (realms best left for the HUMAN).
When: the weekend of May 14-15, 2011
Location: Holiday Inn Boston - Somerville
30 Washington Street
Somerville, MA 02143
(617) 628-1000
Cost: $125 per day
As mentioned on https://friedmanarchivespress.com/seminars/boston, the seminar will provide a wealth of information on the subjects listed below. You can attend either day or both; neither day has a prerequisite:
Day 1 ('The Creative Class', or 'The camera can do quite a bit by itself. Teach me about creativity and light and things that only the human can do!')
* How to take great pictures from ANY camera!
* The secrets of outstanding travel photography
* The difference between snapshots and photographs (and why both are important)
* How to 'see' light the way your camera does
* Making the most of available light
* The 'inner game' mindsets used by all the photographic masters
* Compositional rules derived from the world of fine art
* Features of common point-and-shoots and what they do
* In-class exercises for creativity and composition.
Day 2 ('The Technical Stuff')
* The four variables of exposure
* The three types of metering, and when to use them.
* How your exposure meter thinks.
* Hands-on experience with wireless flash
* Color balance and Human Perception
* The benefits and drawbacks of RAW mode
* How to avoid horrific .jpg compression artifacts
* Print vs. screen resolution (and what to use when sending photos in email)
* The most-useful Post-processing functions
This pair of day-long seminars is for all photographers who would like to learn more, reinforce what they already know, experiment, and become inspired to become better photographers. All in a fun, friendly, and nurturing environment.

What others have said about the Friedman Archives Photography Seminars:
“I’ve been taking pictures for 30 years, and your demonstration of exposure principles was brilliant. Whereas I was fuzzy on the concepts before, I now intuitively understand them!” - Rod Schultz
'Wow! I was skeptical at first, but only a couple of hours with Gary and I was ready to 'capture' the world. Gary is very informative with a wealth of knowledge. His humor and enthusiasm captivated the audience. A day well spent!' -Todd McClenaghan
'Fast-paced, informative, never a dull moment. I learned things I SHOULD have known but didn't; learned things I never knew existed. Great time!' - Bob Hrodey
'Gary's seminar hit the mark!! At the end of the 2-day seminar, I left feeling I learned more than I anticipated I would. The time spent was invaluable.'
- Kevin Stanbus
'Gary is a walking encyclopedia but will always pull things back to a pragmatic and useable level. Great balance between tech and creativity!' - Fritz Schuele
“[The 2nd day is] definitely a must if you don't completely grasp the technical aspects of photography. I found the experience and knowledge base that Gary has is awesome.” -Grant Forsythe
'The humor took the pressure away, allowing all 'dumb' questions to be comfortably asked.' -Rosemarie Poell
=============================
Remember, the overriding goal of photography is to have FUN, to experience your world, and to give you an excuse to go out and do things you wouldn't normally get a chance to do. These courses were designed to be an engaging and fun way to jump-start a lifetime of “Wow!” for your imagery. Hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Gary Friedman
