St. Augustine Photo Adventure – Stuff You Want to Know

Where will we be staying?

Our base of operations will be the Sleep Inn Hotel, 601 Anastasia Blvd., Saint Augustine, FL, 32080, minutes from our shooting locations. The Sleep Inn was recently renovated and is a clean, updated hotel.

How will we get around?

You will be expected to provide your own transportation to St Augustine. We will take the Understand Photography minivan between shooting locations while in St Augustine.

What will we be photographing?

This Photo Adventure encompasses all types of subjects. You will capture sunrises, the historic architecture of St. Augustine, an ancient Spanish Fortress, and an unrivaled array of wild nesting birds in their natural habitat.

What skill level is required?

This photo adventure is geared to photographers of all skill levels. Our proven 5 to 1 photographer/mentor ratio allows every adventurer from beginner to advanced to proceed at their own pace. We strongly suggest that you take The Four Weeks to Proficiency in Photography course (online or hands-on) if you are not comfortable shooting in the manual setting. Check out the calendar to see when it's offered next. Beginners will enjoy this workshop, but you'll get so much more out of it with the strong foundation you'll receive by taking our Four Weeks course first.

What will I learn during the Photo Adventure?

At every step of your Photo Adventure Joe will be at your side, sharing his techniques. Our ratio of a maximum of 5 photographers per leader assures that you will receive personal attention and allow you to learn at your own pace. We will cover:

• Which of your camera’s exposure modes is preferred for each shooting condition.

• Which metering mode works best for each subject.

• Using the histogram to improve your exposures.

• How to take advantage of your camera’s various auto focus modes.

• Fill flash techniques.

• Composition.

• Filters.

• Advanced techniques tailored to your level of knowledge.

What equipment should I bring?

This Photo Adventure encompasses a wide range of subject matter from very large (the sweep of a beach at sunrise) to very small (a butterfly alighting on a flower). There is a strong emphasis on bird photography. Light sources will range from sun to street lamps. We suggest:

• DSLR camera or advanced compact.

• Ideally, lenses to provide the equivalent coverage of full frame lenses from 24mm to 300mm.

• For “crop” DSLRs this means lenses in the range of 17mm to 200mm.

• A circular polarizer if you own one.

• Flash.

• Better Beamer if you own one.

• Tripod.

• Remote shutter release. Useful, but your camera’s timer will suffice in a pinch.

• Memory cards, bring them all!

• Batteries, you will need spares!

• Chargers for everything.

• Laptop if you have one.
