    I loved the class! Andres was very knowledgeable and also very well prepared. Before we started, he gave me a brief overview of what the day would look like and what our route would be. Our technical starting point was at my skill level. Through his instruction, I was able to practice manual focus and panning as well as learn a few things I didn?t know about my own camera. I was able to go home with some really great pictures of NYC and the people and characters on the street. I highly recommend both the workshop and the instructor.

    Title or Location: This Still Life Photograph of "Grapes, Strawberry's and Wine" was taken in my bedroom in Orange County California.
    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.
