After an early dinner we'll meet and greet in our private conference room / classroom. We'll learn about each through our shared photos. We'll also go over some basic camera operations and concepts in preparation for our San Diego Photo Adventures!
We will kick off the morning with an early morning shoot at historic Balboa Park. We'll practice composition and have the opportunity to capture some magnificent Spanish architecture in this huge, photo-candy park! After lunch we'll head into our private classroom and learn more photography theory in depth. We'll explore long exposure photography and hear tips on how to photograph seascapes, landscapes. We'll leave the classroom to shoot the scenic Sunset Cliffs, and Ocean Beach Pier at sunset. We'll end the day at a local-secret, jaw dropping view of the San Diego skyline at night.
We'll rise and shine to shoot the sunrise at gorgeous La Jolla Cove then catch some breakfast nearby. We have one last visit to our classroom to review our photos then head out for lunch and a lesson on off camera lighting and portraiture Our whirlwind tour will end with our group picture with the San Diego skyline behind us across the bay.
