Getting the Shot Better Sports Photography with Tony Avelar
LEARN HOW TO TAKE BETTER SPORTS PICTURES
A Light at 11B Workshop
March 6th and 7th, 2010
Mountain View, CA.
Whether it’s your child or grandchild, the team you coach or volunteer and help out with, a league, school or other organization – this fun one and one half day intensive workshop will help you to take better, more dynamic and exciting sports pictures. Tony Avelar will show you how.
Our inaugural session in October was completely sold out and had a waiting list. Feedback from the workshop participants was stellar. In response, we are bringing Tony back in plenty of time for spring and summer sporting events and for this workshop will have great access to exciting sport. You won't want to miss it.
Tony will share the tips and techniques professionals use to capture awesome sports pictures. He’ll demonstrate for how it’s done and then you’ll get do it yourself with Tony’s help. That’s because you will have an immediate opportunity to apply what you learn and then have your shots constructively reviewed by a working pro in a relaxed and supportive setting.
