Edit

Taking a nice quality photo doesn’t stop once you hit the button on your camera. There is an entire world out there through the use of programs such as Photoshop, Lightroom and so much more to bring your creativeness to life. Post Processing can be daunting at first but as you learn the outcomes can amaze you.

Q: What if my camera isn’t a whizz-bang brand / the latest model DSLR?

A: It doesn’t matter.  While a Digital SLR will open your creative options up more than a simple point-and-shoot camera, there is still much to learn about the art of taking a great photo.  A lot of people like to come and learn the basics prior to upgrading or maybe are being pressured to learn how to use the new toy.

Q: What if I don’t have a DSLR or point-and-shoot camera?

A: We like to encourage all types of photography, no matter how the photos are taken as we understand people have access to a camera almost all the time in their back pockets from their phones. Don’t let that stop you from the amazing potential of Learning, Exploring, Networking, Shooting, Editing or Sharing!
