Bryce will demonstrate the use of GoDox AD 200 flashes with remote triggers and the use of a flash meter. Students will want to bring a wide angle zoom (perhaps 24-70mm) and a telephoto zoom (perhaps 70-200mm), Tripod, ample media cards and cable release.

# #109 Navigating Sony Equipment and Camera Menus Demystified – A one Day Workshop Saturday September 26, 2026 1:00PM-5:00PM $100

Modern DSLR's or mirrorless cameras can be daunting. Dozens of buttons and menu options can send the new user screaming into the night, and faze even the seasoned pro going digital after decades of shooting film. This workshop will concentrate on the new and confusing concepts of digital photographer and high tech cameras. This is not an entry level class. Students are expected to already know shutter speeds, f/stops and ISO selections. We will concentrate on the menu items like finding, reading and interpreting a histogram to achieve the most ideal exposure to minimize your post production efforts. Discover what all the different autofocus modes actually do. Learn how to set the proper white balance settings and other menu items. This workshop is appropriate for both DSLR or mirrorless camera owners.

# #102 DSLR or Mirrorless Camera photography in a Day Starting Sunday September 27, 2026 10:00AM – 5:00PM $100

This one-day four-hour workshop will provide instruction on how to shoot your family photos, vacations and portraits of loved ones using a camera known as a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) or a Mirror-less camera. That means a camera that has a removable lens. A point and shoot camera or cell phone will not be appropriate. We will also demonstrate how to download the images into your computer and some very basic editing of those photos. After completing this class, if you wish to enroll in the six-week 30 hour long Fundamentals of Photography Class (#101), MPW will apply 100% of the $80.00 tuition to that class.

# #205 Portfolio Review and Tech Time – A one Day Workshop starting Friday September 4, 2026 6:30PM-9:00PM $20

This three-hour program is intended for photographers to bring in up to 10 of their images for Bryce to review and critique; saved on a USB flash drive. The students' 10 images may be their best ever images for validation that these images are as good as the photographer hopes they are. Most students however; bring in their problem images in hopes that they can gain an insight of how the image can be re-edited or perhaps re-photographed even better. Bryce will display the images on a big screen and tell you the truth about each image and hopefully; how to make it better if it can be made better. We start at 6:30PM and we continue until we are done. This program is held at our Farmington Hills campus. The image resolution should be 6"x9" @ 240 DPI or 2160 Pixels at the longest dimension. Students will also want to bring in both the RAW image (unprocessed) and their edited .jpg image if possible, in case Bryce needs to demonstrate a processing technique from scratch. Images with smaller resolution can still work, but may provide a limited opportunity as compared to the larger RAW image to take full advantage of the data available from the larger file size of a RAW file. This workshop is at our Farmington Hills Campus.
