Groupon: Collective Buying Power

Hello. Yes, our classes are designed for beginner and intermediate SLR (interchangable-lens) cameras. Most of our attendants use entry level SLRs. I suggest beginners start with our Basic SLR Class or a manufacture specific class, such as the Canon or Nikon class.

Hello. Great question. Our library classes attract a lot of compact camera users and we keep the information very basic as to not exclude them. There is some information in the library classes that will overlap the information in our Basic SLR class, but not much. All of our other classes are specifically for SLR (interchangable-lens) camera users. I suggest starting with the Basic SLR class, which will help you get out of the automatic mode and more comfortable with other modes or the manufacture specific classes, like Canon or Nikon In-Depth (depending on what brand you have of course). The "In-Depth" classes are all about the buttons, dials and menus on your brand of camera. Thanks!

Hello. We have 9 classes in our series total. They range from a very general SLR class, to editing with Photoshop and specific classes like Sports Photography. We also do special workshops not in our regular series thoughout the year. A complete list of our classes is at www.michaellambphotography.com. I suggest Rebel users start with Basic SLR, which is designed to get you out of automatic and comfortable with other modes on your dial and/or the Canon In-Depth class which is all about the buttons, dials and menus on your camera. Thanks!

Hello. Yes, most of our attendants are Rebel users, or a similar entry-level camera of another brand. I suggest the Basic SLR Class which will teach you how to get out of the "green" mode and the Canon In-Depth class which will teach you what all the buttons, dials, and many menus are and how to best use/change them. Thank you.

Hello. Our classes are designed for SLR (interchangable-lens) cameras. Most of our attendants have entry-level cameras and are beginners, so no knowledge/experience is necessary. If you have a compact camera, consider taking one of our free classes held at area libraries. There is a full list of classes at www.michaellambphotography.com. If you have a SLR, start with the Basic SLR class or a manufacture class such as the Canon In-Depth class. Thanks!

Hello. Right now we have 4 classes scheduled in Greenville. The are Oct 15 (Basic SLR), Oct 29 (Canon In-Depth), Nov 5 (Nikon In-Depth) & Nov 12 (Photoshop Elements) . All are 6-8PM. We are prepared to add more 2012Greenville classes in the downtown area if these classes fill up quickly and are planning Greenville classes in 2013, though dates have not been announced. Thanks!

All of our classes start at 6PM. We try to end at 8PM, but have been known to go over a little with Q&As at the end of the class. Thanks!

Hello. No there is no age limit on these classes. We have a lot of teens attend, with or without a parent, and they seem to get a lot out of them. Thank you.

Hello. I am afraid we do not offer Saturday classes, but that's a great idea and may be something we do in the future. Our classes usually start at 6PM so that students and adults have time to their from school or work. Most classes end at 8PM. Thank you.
