Photography is often confused with photongraphy, the practice of posing elementary particles until they electromagnetically shout "cheese!" Learn how to preserve the artfully tangible with today's Groupon: for $75, you get your choice of one photography safari workshop from Creative Edge Photography Workshops (a $229.90 value). Workshops are redeemable at a variety of locations in the Atlanta area.
Led by shutterbug extraordinaire Mike Moreland, Creative Edge Photography boasts excellent instruction programs that teach a variety of photographic styles, guiding photography pupils on their way to camera-click mastery. Choose from a wide range of safari workshop offerings, then tote along your own picture box for photo-snapping comfort. Each workshop comes complete with two e-books for Groupon users and begins with a basic introduction to the art form, highlighting subjects such as composition and camera settings before segueing into specific areas. Select the lighting workshop to focus on harnessing natural light as well as light of the flash variety, or head out on a nature safari to catch glistening waterfalls or a group of gossipmonger squirrels playing pinochle on a park bench. The vintage safari boasts up-close access to the nostalgic Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth, and the night shoot at Centennial Park course captures the magic of the city after dusk, securing views of beautifully lit skyscrapers and radioactive sidewalk bricks.

Groupon Guide to: The President's Fitness Challenge
Once a year, the president goes to every grade school in the country and challenges students to hang on to their self-esteem—as well as to complete a series of exercises he made up. Here are the athletic trials that make up the President's Challenge:
Curl-ups The Challenge: In 60 seconds, see how many times you can touch your shoulder blades to your heels while lying on your stomach. This also measures your current level of gravity.
Shuttle Run The Challenge: Two traffic cones, which should be taken from a nearby construction site, are placed roughly 10 yards apart from one another. Starting at the first cone, run to the second and see how hard you can throw that cone in the general direction of the first cone without hitting it.
Sit and Reach The Challenge: As the name implies, this challenge tests your ability to sit still and re main silent for as long as possible without complaining about your body ach ing because your muscle tissue is wasting away.
Mile Run The Challenge: On a slip of paper, write down how many miles you think you can run.
Chin-ups The Challenge: As you hold onto a steel horizontal bar, the president asks you questions about whether or not you can overcome hardships like failing a math exam or getting only the smallest storage capacity iPod for a birthday gift. To answer "yes," raise your chin high enough to place it atop the bar, release your hands, and hang there for 30 seconds.
