Photography immortalizes precious moments, such as the sharing of wedding vows or a moment's first steps. Cherish blessed events with today's Groupon: for $189, you get an eight-hour digital photography workshop from PMD Photography, located in Coquitlam (a $385 value). Groupon customers also receive 20% off any additional course they opt to take at pmd photography.

An experienced wedding and band photographer, PMD Photography founder Paul McDermott drills student shutterbugs with new photography skills in his hands-on, interactive seminars. During Photography 101, nascent point-and-clickers learn how to use aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to gain more control over their snapshots of dogs who can snap, and an Editing and Workflow in Lightroom class teaches more experienced soul trappers to organize, edit, and transmit their images with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.0 software. Finally, an Off-Camera Flash workshop frees persnickety paparazzos from weak dependence on natural light by exploring advanced techniques for using flash and building competitor suns. Lunch is included in every seminar.
