Great Weekend of Learning with Rick Sammon

This past weekend I spent learning and getting inspired from the fabulous photographer, Rick Sammon. The event was put on by a member of the camera club and is the fourth one that I have participated in. I always learn a bunch and am totally inspired to improve my photography. Rick did a two hour talk on Friday night about shooting in the city and HDR. All day Saturday were more tips on HDR, photographing people, travel photography, using flash, photohop, plug-ins and various other photography subjects. Sunday morning a smaller group of us met with Rick at Downtown Disney for a workshop and photowalk. We started by learning about fill-in flash, using flash with reflectors, and just using reflectors without flash to fill in the light. Afterthat we did some HDR shots both outside and inside the Wolfgang Pucks restaurant. It was a great day and I learned so much.
