Photographing Your Kids' Sports with John Omvik 

In this day-long hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to create stunning photos that freeze the action and capture the experience of any sport or action event. In addition to the optimal camera settings, we'll talk about how and when to anticipate the action, and how to position yourself for the real hero shots.

Participants will also learn the technical fundamentals of photography – such as relationships between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, along with white balance, lens and auto focus settings that will help you step out of the “Green Zone” to take better sports photos.

After the live action shoot, we’ll return to the studio and go through the process of selecting the best photos from the different scenes, processing them to print or share with others. The photography and workflow techniques you’ll learn can be applied to any sport or action event.

This workshop is limited to 12 participants, so register today!
