RESERVATIONS are under Don Giannatti - this is truly one of the best restaurants
in the area. Great food, reasonably priced and in the middle of a beautiful
area. You will love Old Town. You will love the food. You will love the
weather. You will hate, I mean really really hate, the parking. Sorry.
It is what it is. I use a parking garage that is two blocks or so south.
Meeting Place for Sunday:
South Entrance of the Spanish Village at East end of Balboa Park. On Village Place, just off Park Blvd you will see a very large tree (big big) - we will meet there at 8AM for a photo walk, and 9AM for the Workshop..
This is a fantastic workshop. The studio is large enough to go from simple to wild, and we cover a tremendous amount of lighting concepts, controls and setups. It is a hands-on workshop. You will be doing your own work and shooting your own shots. I do not set it up and walk away like in other workshops, nor do we spend all day doing a couple of images. We do 'proof of concept' and the images/setups are shot for your files.
There are many things to learn, and I suggest you bring a pen/pencil and something to write on... clipboard for instance, or a notebook. I furnish the diagrams and papers you need, but taking notes is very important.
Please take advantage of this workshop to learn as much as you can. I make no plans for Saturday evening, so I am available as long as anyone wants to stay. Sunday we like to end around 6 in the winter.
Bring:
Camera, lenses, preferably wide angle and telephoto
Big Lights if you have them (please contact me first)
Speedlight(s), and a remote system for triggering them. CLS is fine for
Nikon shooters, ST3's for Canon.
At least one stand for your speedlight.
An umbrella (small or medium, shoot thru, bounce or both - white or satin
white)
A reflector system. I recommend the 5inOne or the 6inOne systems.
At least 4 GIG of media. (We shoot a lot)
