THIS SATURDAY'S WORKSHOPS by Steve
Steve has two new workshops starting this Saturday. "Building Your Home Studio" is an introduction to studio equipment for photographers who want to build an affordable lighting system in their home or business. Lighting and basic light modifiers will be covered. "Tether Your Canon Camera" is for Canon owners who would profit by an image immediately appearing on their computer monitor as the photo is taken. Perfect for studio owners.
