Love Your Tripod!

Join Gerri Whitley to explore the creative possibilities of longer shutter speeds.  Learn to master the techniques of longer exposures using your tripod and how to select shutter speeds to create stunning
images.
Offered either as an in-person workshop on Sunday evenings or an on-line course on Monday nights.

The courses are structured differently so it is not possible to float between the two. Both are 6 weeks.
