PHOTOGRAPHY CLASSES for YOU
Some things you should know about me, Michelle Palys, and my classes.
Join me if you can. And keep in mind, much of the information you learn with a DSLR is working knowledge you can transfer to taking photographs wth your ipods, ipads, point & shoots, cell phones, etc. Your enhanced photography skills will cross the many platforms of technology we're using today.

Class Levels
Info/Non-Camera
The following Levels require a DSLR (removable lens)
Level 1 - Not much experience. Beginner, new or long-time camera owner who needs to know more. Great transiton for film camera users.
Level 2 - Need to have basic working knowledge of ISO, Aperture & Shutter. Learn how to think so you can change settings on the fly in variety of environments.
Level 3/ Pro Do you ever sweat at your photo shoots? This level is for you! Learn how to get crisp clean images on location - in any environment. Get ahead on lighting, composition & location. Slay the beast!
On location photography does not have a 're-do' button!
In my 30+ years of shooting, I've encountered many, many, many different environments and weather. When getting that amazing shot is the goal, I must figure out how to pull it off successfully! Usually, there is no second chance. Try shooting from the air during a freak snowstorm! Or when someone stands up in front of you as the ball is run into the end zone!! ... tricky? ABSOLUTELY! Did I get the shots? ABSOLUTELY!
How? you ask...
...See you in class! ;)
