If you have always enjoyed photography, but never really quite understood all those little buttons on your camera, I’m here to tell you that you are not alone.  Taking a photograph isn’t that complicated; taking a really good photograph can be, if you don’t know some simple techniques.
That’s why I’m so excited to announce a Beginner’s Photography Class to be offered by local photographer Mark Poore.  Mark has been a resident of Pocahontas County for 33 years.  He started shooting professionally 25 years ago, and has many published photographs and 15 postcards to his credit, not to mention some photography contest wins.
Mr. Poore will teach a two-night workshop for beginners.  He plans to cover composition, lighting, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and depth of field.  You will get to know your camera, and then have a chance to shoot some photos for review and critique. 
The cost of the workshop is only $25, and pre-registration is required.  Two workshops will be offered: one at McClintic Library on June 21 and June 23, at 6:30 p.m.  If that time/place isn’t convenient, a second workshop is being held at the Linwood Library on June 22 and June 24, again at 6:30 p.m.  Please stop in to the library of your choice to sign up and pay the registration fee.  Space is limited, so don’t wait!
