Event Photography

Photographing an Elite Cycling Race

June 14th (optional), 15th and 19th, 2008.
$225 + taxes

Imagine the challenge of photographing an elite bike race. We will have the opportunity to cover two criterion races - cyclists racing around a closed loop course. Two races where cyclists are planned to race a total of 91 laps over a few hours. This event gives photo participants ample chances to try new skills!

Live the life of a sports photographer for an afternoon! This workshop is aimed at intermediate or advanced photographers. You will learn first hand the challenges and fun of shooting fast paced elite athletes!

We have teamed up with Headshots Rentals to provide students access to some fabulous professional gear while shooting the races! Some restrictions apply.

"Is this a digital or film course?" It is a photography course - about creating better pictures. The emphasis is on your skills behind the camera and your ability to effectively use the camera you have. Many participants bring digital cameras. Many choose film. Some bring both! Having people with both technologies on a course helps to compare the differences. Do not worry about your equipment - all you need is a 35mm SLR camera and lens(es) - no "point and shoot" cameras please.
