a foolish pianist posted:I'm going to be shooting a mass hot air balloon launch near sunset today. Any recommendations? I'll have an 8-16 ultra wide, a 50 prime, and a 70-300. Try and snag a ride on one of the balloons that is in the middle of the launch. Trade free prints for it. Then shoot like a lunatic and take amazing stuff with a wide angle lens.

Don't do it. If she wants to pay for it she should go to someone who does it for a living. Just concentrate on shooting your friends for no stress hassle free stuff.

Mr. Funny Pants posted:I hope this is the appropriate thread to ask this. My wife bought me my first DSLR for Christmas. I got my "nifty 50", read some stuff here and elsewhere and have been able to take some nice pictures (compared to my old point and shoot at least). I used to help teach a class like this a couple of years ago. $35 got you 3 hours in Central Park with up to 25 people (though on average it was about 18). We taught exposure fundamentals, exposure compensation settings, shutter speed and aperture relationships and when to change each (blur vs bokeh basically). How to take portraits to get bokeh effects. A small amount on composition. As much as it's not really something for a serious photographer, if you know nothing at all about the stuff I mentioned, it was well worth it and we always got great feedback. I imagine this class will be as advanced as ours, just more depth as you have more time. I would do it as long as $175 isn't going to break the bank. Just the time spent with like minded people and actually talking to them about your hobby and making friends is worth it alone. There is only so much you can learn on a forum or in a book. If you make just one permanent real life photo buddy it's worth it.
