Massimo Bassano returns to Boulder this summer! Massimo is one of Italy’s top photojournalists – he was just awarded first and second place for “Best Travel Cover,” by the Italian Conference of Editors & Journalists! Massimo shares with us how photographers can capture that exceptional photo when they become part of the scene they are photographing rather than just watching them through a lens.

The first two days are for those who want more technical knowledge about their camera, software/computer and latest equipment. The following five-day workshop is “shooting on-site” in and around Boulder. Each day becomes a photographic adventure. Capturing the morning light and coolness of the day, we shoot together and independently. In the afternoons we gather for discussions, return to do more shooting and download or develop film overnight. Everyone will be able to sign up for a one-on-one session with Massimo.

Technical Intensive – July 20 – 21, 2009 $395 Shoot and Critique – July 22 – July 26, 2009 $995 Full Week workshop – $1,295

The BAA and the LAG jointly host a yearly members’ show that includes work by artists working in a variety of media including photography, oils, watercolor, pastels, etc. Juror, Pat Redman, will award prizes to the best artwork in each category. Pat Redman has been a professional artist for over 30 years. During that time, he has worked as a scientific illustrator, and occasional commercial illustrator, and a fine artist, primarily in oils and pastels. His artwork has appeared in a number of books and magazines, including Time, GEO, PM Magazine, Earth, and Le Figuro, and has been featured in a variety of gallery exhibitions. He has also taught classes in drawing, painting, portraiture, still life and plein air through Life Long Learning and the Colorado Academy of Art, as well as privately.

A fixture in the Colorado art scene since 1923, the Boulder Art Association is dedicated to helping beginning, emerging and professional artists in the creation of fine art, as well as in developing appreciation for the fine arts. Founded in 1923 by Jean Sherwood, an art teacher at Chautauqua, the Boulder Art Association offers demonstrations at their monthly meetings, and many opportunities for artists to gain visibility for their work throughout the county. Visit the web site for the Boulder Art Association, for details about all upcoming events and meetings.

This is a class for all camera owners’ who want to get more comfortable with their camera’s operation. Admission is free for all participants. We have room for 32 people.

Do you have questions about f/stops? Shutter speeds? Program mode? Full Auto? White balance? ISO speeds?

When to use Aperture priority or Shutter priority? Program or manual setting? Does all this confuse when you go the shoot with your camera? What about basic settings and when do I use those?

Well, we will answer all these burning questions and many more at our Digital Camera Class. We will have knowledgeable people there to answer all your questions for both digital SLR and Point & Shoot cameras.

Be sure you bring your camera and the owner’s manual with you – these will be required for admission.

Come spend the day learning all about your camera and come away feeling more comfortable about how to use that new or older camera. Check with you respective clubs rep with any questions.

Hope to see you there!
