Class Title: Landscapes
Class Description:
Join Tony Hebert as we explore the nuances of capturing and post processing landscape images as well as artificially lit nightscape images!
Bio: Tony Hebert
Tony Hebert is a working, professional photographer who has lived behind a camera for the past 25 years. Tony owns and operates his private company, 319 Photography - the namesake of which is a nod to his loving and supporting wife Jeanelle. The "319" represents the day Tony married Jeanelle: March 19.
Tony's love and passion for photography began in high school when he took Photography I as an elective because the class was taught by his then Track & Field coach and Tony assumed it would be an "easy A." Tony's assumption was far from reality when he discovered that his coach was a passionate photographer who was even more passionate about teaching photography. It was not an "easy A." This began Tony's love affair with photography and in his early 20's Tony began working professionally when he produced images for the State of Oklahoma's Tourism and Recreation Department.
Tony now travels, capturing and producing his own images, teaching successful photography workshops, and exhibiting in galleries and arts festivals across the United States where he sells his work. Tony's work has won awards and he has been published in different avenues, notably in Astronomy Magazine. Tony is a Sony shooter and proud to be an ambassador for Bedford Camera & Video and Move Shot Move star trackers.

Class Title: Action Shooting Techniques:

Class Description:

March 1, 1-3:30p:
PM-R will present some quick tips on capturing the peak moment of action using the Sony A1 and A9III cameras with the new 300GM lens and other glass like the 135mm f/1.8GM, 70-200mm f/2.8GMII, and the 400GM. We will be on the obstacle course with athletes running and jumping so there will be ongoing opportunities to shoot in each situation as we move through the course. This will be an all available light session where we will mainly shoot backlit (pm-r’s favorite) with telephoto lenses. Non-Sony shooters are most welcome but we will have some loaner gear for you to try Sony if you choose.

March 2, 10:30a-12pp:
This session will build on the first one but we will introduce shooting with strobes in the obstacle course. We will be setting up situations where we will shoot action with the new Sony A9III camera and 300GM lens but with high speed strobes added to the mix. This portion of the workshop will also be sponsored by FJ Westcott and we will be using their FJ400 units with sport reflectors. With the FJ400 units, we will create our own unique light that is fast enough to allow the use of 1/3000th sec shutter speeds WITH flashes at the same speed. We can turn day into night if we want and really explore the athletes in a new light. The new A9III is a 100% unique camera with no equals as the internal global shutter allows shutter speeds way beyond what is normal in pro cameras and allows flash synchronization at any shutter speed. The images we produce in this class will be totally unique because of the groundbreaking tech in the A9III.
Bio: Patrick Murphy-Racey
Sony Artisan of Imagery Patrick Murphy-Racey earned his B.A., in Photojournalism from Marquette University. PM-R’s 36 year career has been only and always about photography. Murphy-Racey has seen a great variety of assignments since his start in newspapers, through the peak years of being a magazine freelancer, his tenure as a regular contributor to Sports Illustrated, and into the corporate and industrial world of annual reports and advertising. While his assignments are varied and come from many different sources, photojournalism is his first love and constantly informs every assignment. Ever the chameleon, Murphy-Racey’s career is a long series of re-inventions and rebirths, but the visual storytelling remains the same, even as the tools change. From 4x5 to 8K, he’s technically inclined, and loves making great images. Patrick is more than competent covering just about any assignment, but his specialties include dramatic and creative use of strobe & LED lighting, sports action photography, environmental portraits, and powerful, well-lit UHD interview video production. PM-R shoots both stills as well as motion and is always asking, “What’s next?”
Class Title: Focal Lengths, Styles, and Why
Class Description:
Lens choice can dramatically affect the look of your images and can be an important factor easily overlooked. This presentation will delve into different types of lenses, their functions, use, and overall style they can achieve across a variety of subject matter. We will also discuss when you would choose one lens over another, different creative considerations, and desired outcomes. All skill levels are welcome.

What is Grey Market?
Products that are imported and sold by anyone other than USA Authorized dealers are considered Grey Market products. These are often genuine products that were intended for other countries; therefore, they may not meet the manufacturer's specifications for US products or perform as expected, and they are not covered by a USA manufacture warranty or eligible for a USA repair service.
What are the differences as far as a customer is concerned?
In most cases, the main difference between a "USA" and a "Grey Market," or imported product is the cost of the item and the terms of the item’s warranty coverage. The products themselves are otherwise identical. As a rule, "Grey Market" items typically cost less than their USA counterparts. "Grey market" products never qualify for manufacturer's rebate programs and can not be price matched. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-333-4280.
