A hands-on workshop and seminar covering everything you need to know to shoot successful photos through the acrylic at the world's largest aquarium.
The seminar portion covers equipment, lighting, exposure, white balance, composition and creative techniques via digital, slide-illustrated lecture and handouts. In addition, Dr. Bruce Carlson, former director of the Waikiki Aquarium and now Vice President for Exhibits, Education & Conservation at the GA Aquarium, will present a guest lecture in which he will show and discuss some of his work (including cutting-edge HD video of aquatic animals) and still images he took that are used in exhibition graphics and on calendars and notecards at the Aquarium.
Following the seminar portion, we will shoot in the most photogenic exhibit areas within the Aquarium with personalized, 1-on-1 instruction. Tuition also includes a follow-up personal, written critique by Charles of 2 images of choice you captured during the workshop. Cost is $149, which includes lunch and admission to the Georgia Aquarium. (Admission alone is a $24 value!) Limited to 22 participants.

Anyone in Georgia interested? I figured I would see if anyone wanted to go before I decided?

| I just saw a TV show about this aquarium -- very impressive (they have TWO whale sharks there!). Sounds like a great workshop, but a little too far away for me to go. |

Sounds great, but I have to work. That's actually going to be a busy day for us.
PS:  GeneralE, up until a couple of weeks ago, there were four whale sharks: Ralph, Alice, Norton, and Trixie. Ralph died unexpectedly last month. |

| Sorry to hear about Ralph -- the TV show only mentioned two whale sharks, and not by name -- maybe because The Honeymooners ran on another network. |

Heh. Probably. Didn't have synergy.
For some reason, I never got a good shot of him, but I'm sure someone here did. |

Well I won't be going either. I only noticed it last night when I posted.
Maybe now we know to keep a lookout.
