Monthly SMUG Meeting - Get your photography business ducks in a row

Shenandoah SMUG Mug March Meeting - Getting your photography "business ducks" in a row.

We will be meeting at the Hampton Inn in Front Royal, VA on March 17th at 7:00 p.m.

Whether you are just beginning your photography business or are a seasoned pro, please join us for a dynamic discussion about getting your photography "business ducks" in a row. We will go over everything from obtaining your EIN to accepting credit cards.

For the last 30-45 minutes of each SMUG meeting we will be holding a "Back to the Basics" instructional session that will focus on a specific photography skill. This month, we will go over how to calculate Depth of Field. I promise it won't be all about the math!

"As a concept, depth-of-field is poorly understood by many beginning and amateur photographers. One of the primary benefits of owning a DSLR camera is the control the photographer gains over the relative depth-of-field (what appears to be in sharpest focus) for any given shot. In contrast, digital point and shoot cameras utilize sensors so small, with correspondingly short focal length lenses, that there is very little opportunity to exercise any depth of field control because literally everything appears to be in sharp focus.
Even for those more experienced photographers who do understand the relationships between aperture size, lens focal length and subject distance, calculating the best aperture to achieve a desired result often amounts to little more than guesswork, and frequently results in overcompensation and wasted shutter speed." excerpt from expoimaging.com
