Here are the top ten reasons to attend (on-line and world wide) my creativeLive class Oct 21-23, 2011.

To celebrate the event, my most popular apps are on super sale. Click here for info.

Okay, here we go with my Top Ten list:

Info Packed. Fun Filled. Business Chat. Lighting Lessons. Travel Tips. People Pictures. Wildlife Wonders. Speedlite Sessions. Pro Talk. Make pictures.

That’s the short of it.

Here’s the long of it:

#1 Info Packed

Photographers who attend my live seminars and workshops know that I am kinda hyper. (Kinda?) So, I will pack as much photo learning into these three days as possible.

#2 Fun Filled

My idea is to make learning fun! After all, that is why all of us got into photography in the first place. Right? BTW: If you think my cL class is fun and info pack, come on one of my workshops for some real hands-on photo fun.

#2 Speedlite Sessions

I’ll demonstrate the pro results photographers can get with a few affordable Speedlite accessories.

#4 Business Chat

Photography is a business – and today, social media makes doing business easier – if you know what you are doing. I’ll share with the audience what I have learned, and how photographers can use this info to grow their business.

Google+ will be a segment on my Business Chat segment.

#5 Light Lessons

It’s all about light: seeing the contrast range in the scene, the direction of light, the color of light and the quality of light. In my class, photographers will learn how to see – and control – the light. (If you can't wait for the lighting tips, you'll find some in my 24/7 Photo Buffet app and Light It! app. Click here.)

#6 Travel Tips

I travel to take pictures and I take pictures to travel. I’ll share both shooting and travel tips in my keynote presentations.

#7 People Pictures

“The camera looks both ways – in picturing the subject, you are also picturing a part of yourself.” My class drives home the meaning of this quote.

#8 Wildlife Wonders

When it comes to wildlife, I think butterflies are one of the real wonders. In the studio, I will share my favorite butterfly photo tips – which can be applied to all close-up subjects. We will actually photograph butterflies. BTW: If you like butterflies and like photographing butterflies, check out my app, Butterfly Wonders on my app page.

#9 Pro Talk

I interview three of today’s top pros: Catherine Hall, Hal Schmitt and David Ziser. Heed their advice.

#10 Make Pictures

In my class, we will make pictures, not just take pictures.

I hope to see you there!

Explore the light,

Rick
