Dates and Fees
The Creative Control Workshop is scheduled as a two day (same weekend)
every three months. A minimum number of four (4) participants is required to conduct
a workshop with maximum number accepted being eight (8). Although the
Creative Control Workshop is designed for two days (same weekend) we offer
a one day (Saturday) workshop that covers one-half of the material. The course fee
is $99.95 for the one day workshop and $159.95 (cash only) for the two day
workshop. Fees are due at the beginning of the workshop. If a particular
workshop is cancelled due to lack of minimum enrollment requirements any
funds already paid will be refunded. Be sure to email us for space
availability.
Recommended
Equipment
In
addition to your 35mm SLR film/digital camera we recommend the following equipment
(although not required): flash cards, steady tri-pod,
remote cable release, dedicated flash, extra set of fully charged
batteries, lens cloth, any filters that you own, and a bag for your gear. It is not necessary to go out and purchase a full array of lens or filters
for the workshop. The lens that you own will work fine. Be sure to wear clothing
appropriate for the season, comfortable shoes for the field outings and
since some Mississippians are convinced that the state bird should be the
Mississippi mosquito you may want to carry along some insect protection.
And for those of you that eat more than once a day a sack lunch. If you
have been considering new camera equipment purchases feel free to
send us an email with your questions.
Workshop Materials
Provided
We will provide: 1 roll of professional grade 35 mm film per day for those of
you using film cameras, box lunches, drinks, bottled water, and all
workshop materials. For those of you shooting digital we will have
a lap top in the field for image review and instant feedback.
