Since meeting up with several girls at the Htown Blogger Hotties meetups, I’ve seen several people ask for help with their cameras, especially right after Christmas from all those lucky enough to have Santa bring them a dSLR. I will state a big disclaimer that “I AM NOT A PRO!” and just a hobbyist who loves photography and is willing to help others get started. I don’t take the best photos & don’t have all the answers, but I know enough to get most people successfully started using their fancy camera.
I will be getting together with several other Houston bloggers for a very casual photography workshop & seminar on Tuesday January 31st at 7PM. I’ll cover the basics of photography (mechanics, exposure, reading a light meter, aperture, shutter speed), talk a little about equipment (bodies, lenses, filters, accessories), briefly cover some post-processing and editing (Lightroom, Photoshop, backing-up, sharing online). I don’t intend this to be very detailed or in-depth, just an overview & a starter course. I’ll have a few handouts, be sharing lots resources & examples, and give everybody time to play & learn with their camera.
Bring your cameras, dig out your manual/guide, write down your questions & get ready to learn! I shot Nikon, so I am much more familiar with how to run a Nikon camera, but we should be able to figure out most issues on Canon’s or other brands. I’d love to have a Canon expert come & present with me!
Email me for more details about the location or to join us at Click. The Good News
GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: January meet-up for the Htown blogger hotties is coming soon.

I shot with a D7000 & also a Sony P&S. You can get more info here http://www.clickthegoodnews.com/info/photography/
You are still welcome to come even if your camera isn’t in yet- you can pick up some fundamentals.
Is this an IRL thing or online also?
Hi Amy- It’s a real life GTG for Houston gals. I wish I was there to help you in person! I’d be glad to answer any questions or help you out any way I can though!
Awe! I wish I would have seen this sooner!
Glad you left a comment and found me. And yep, I am in Houston as well
No worries- I think we are going to have other meet-ups and maybe a camera playday in the future, just keep an eye on the blog!
