Travel Photography is a great way to bring others along on your adventures without having to pay for their plane tickets! There is a big difference between vacation snapshots and travel photography, and this class will help you make that leap. Join Sony Tech Rep., Barrett McGivney, as he covers the basics of travel photography from the best gear to bring with you, to the different photographic genres that fall under “travel photography”, tips on how to shoot them, and recommend what to do before/during/after your trip. So join us for this new fun informative class.

Hi Everyone
This is the group that we sponsor in Richmond. The Richmond Virtual Academy. This year they have asked us to take yearbook photos for various activities. This activity is most important
HEAD SHOTS for the Yearbook.
On April 18 from 11-3, there will be headshot photos and a supply giveaway.
The hope is to get as many photographers as we can to photograph approx 250 kids. These are simple shots, if parents would like a set, we can set up a fundraiser on the side to take additional shots for a minimal fee which will help us support the school with its posters and art activities. Even to start a mini photo club.
That afternoon they get supplies and we take photos of their activities which are added to the school system web pages. We will meet at John Marshall High School on the YMCA parking lot side at 10:30.
Please bring any backdrops or stools you may have.
Thank you!!

More activities coming up

If you ask Sony tech rep, Barrett McGivney, what his favorite feature is in Sony cameras, he is likely to respond “One?!? There are soooo many…I’ve got 3 volumes of tips & tricks classes (and another “Fourth” coming [pun very intended]).

In this 1 hour class, Barrett reemphasizes some of the well known features that have helped Sony become the #1 mirrorless camera company (Eye AF, 1 mount, Lens options, image rating, EVF, customizing, Hybridized professional results in stills & video, etc.,…) as well as features you may have overlooked (gamma assist, proxy recording, picture profile, aspect ratio…just to name a few). Whether you’re looking to switch to Sony mirrorless or already a member of the Sony family this class will be a fun quick feature tour.
