It’s Monday morning and I’m fresh out of Nikon school. I obviously have no motivation for my full time job now.
Nikon School consists of 2 days of 7 hours talking about photography. A dream come true. I would highly recommend this workshop! Check it out here. The class demographic was mostly amateurs just looking to gain some knowledge. I met people who were point and shoot beginners to pros just looking to stay fresh.
Saturday’s class was a little more basic. It mostly focused on getting the shot in the camera, not a lot of editing. We talked about ISO, aperture, shutter speed, camera settings, that kind of thing. Sunday’s class I really enjoyed; the instructors talked about editing software, gave demos and showed us just plain cool stuff. I feel that I learned so, so much and am feeling a lot more confident about this new career.
Another bonus about the classes, I got to meet some great people! It was so fun to be in a room where everyone is there to talk about photography. Also, Nikon reps were there with equipment we were allowed to touch. I would proudly like to announce that I have not only held, but taken a picture with the brand spankin’ new D3. What a monster. Severe camera lust happening. 
The class was well-worth the time and money spent, in my opinion. Feel free to ask me questions about it!
Go Nikon!

It was a ton of fun opening for Bethany Dillon. We got to hang out for a little bit before the show, and she’s a really cool girl =)
Good luck with the photography, and thanks again for writing!
