Motion Blur Photography - Pike Place Market - 10 am - 2 Hours

Motion is captured in photos by drawing attention to the speed at which a subject or object is moving, in relation to the other things around it. A streaky look is created when a subject is moving, but other things in the same frame are still. What better location than Pike Place Market to capture the constant & busy motion of people, vendors, traffic and lights. We will start shooting at 10AM and will spend our time in and around the market looking for motion of all sorts. We suggest bringing your tripod if you have one but not necessary if you don't.

Indoor Portrait Photography - Issaquah Depot Museum - 1 pm - 2 Hours

When photographing portraits indoors, we’re contained by four (or more) walls, and a ceiling – all of which block out light. Of course, this results in a darker environment where we have to work a little harder to obtain a correct exposure. We’re also somewhat conditioned to think that a beautiful picture needs a stunning natural location, however, you can capture fantastic images indoors also – it just takes a little practice. Let’s get into some of the problems that arise with shooting indoors, and find out how to overcome them.

Free Choice Session at the Beach - Alki Beach - 10am - 2 Hours

If you might be craving a California beach-like experience, Alki is about as close as you are going to get. With its sandy shores looking over the bay back towards the city, Alki boasts beautiful views in all directions. It's a great place to shoot the Seattle skyline and to watch the ferries go by. Sand, water, rocks, driftwood, mini statue of Liberty and a lighthouse opportunity as well, so many things to set your focus on.

Sunset Photography - Gas Works Park - 4:00pm - 2 Hours

A sunset can include warmer yellow, orange and pink tones, as well as cooler blue and purple tones, depending on the position and number of clouds in the sky. When you are shooting a sunset, you are basically making the sun your'e subject or focal point. There’s no point in using any of the camera’s automatic modes, because the light meter will be thrown off by the strong amount of light hitting the sensor. In this class you will learn how to get better results playing with different combinations of the aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings on manual mode to capture the beauty of the sunset. This beautiful park affords city views and a spectacular opportunity to photograph the sunset. We will begin by photographing the beauty of the ruins and remnants of the sole coal gasification plant in the US and the Seattle skyline over Lake Union. As light declines, we will climb the kite-flying hill to begin capturing the sunset scheduled to take place at 5:53 PM on this leap year date.
