Hi Folks,
I got my 10D couple of weeks ago :-). I realize that if I want to speed up my learning , i have to step it up in terms practice. I don't think i will learn too much or too well if i want back forth between shooting from my patio or a local park and the reading forums on the web.
(BTW I like shooting portraits & landscape.)
So I am searching for some reasonably priced workshops or Field studies near & around the Bay Area. So far I have selected a couple from the Santa Cruz Univ. extension (UCSC).
For Landscape:
"Pt. Lobos State Reserve - workshop"
Jerry Wolfe and Richard Garrod, who each have more than 30 years of experience photographing Point Lobos, will provide individual help to all participants in realizing their photographic vision. To establish a deeper understanding of this unique place, Wolfe and Garrod will discuss the history, geology, flora and fauna of Point Lobos. Examples of their work, as well as those of other photographers, will demonstrate the Reserve's enormous potential for creative expression.

& this one for portraits:
"The Personal and Professional Portrait: Photographing People”
Through class discussions, slide presentations and demonstrations, participants examine the range of possibilities in photographing people.
This class is designed for both beginning and experienced photographers who wish to create better photographic portraits.

I am wondering if anyone has attended the field studies from UCSC. How good are they?
Mainly what are the other recommend ones in the Bay Area?
I see plenty of tours, field studies that require one to fly to a "far off land".
I just exhausted my vacation for the next year. & I exhausted my money by overreaching & getting the 10D +lens. :-)
Also I would love to hear advice in term of preparation for such outdoor workshops?
I presume one day workshops are less than half as effective as two/three day workshops.
Finally, is the majority of you learning by analyzing your own photo by yourself?
thanks
