Free intro photography lessons from me
I thought of a new idea, I'll see how many people are interested before I commit. I am not a professional automotive photographer at all, but I do enjoy shooting my own car whenever I get a chance. 90% of my car photos are taken with a point and shoot camera, with Photoshop post processing.
I know a lot of you can benefit from learning at least a few tips and tricks on getting great shots of your car whenever you have free time and find the right location. Once the weather is nicer, I can offer free group photo lessons on how to best use the camera you have to shoot your car, or even photography in general. Of course I won't mind donations. I figure we can start off meeting on a weeknight at the popular Starbucks on River Rd in Edgewater (open 24hrs), bring your car, tripods, cameras, and have a quick intro lesson. Then when weather gets really nice, we can schedule a daytime meet on the weekend. After each session I can review your photos through email or whatever and give you additional advice or how to edit. This is also not a one-way class, if there are other skilled photographers I am sure we'd all like to hear your advice as well. I usually find it pointless to have car meets and stare at each other's engines or mods and loiter in a parking lot. I want to at least do something productive. Let's see how many people are interested. I'm not that great at managing meets too, so if someone would like to do the "work", I can just show up too :P Some of my pics (some NSFW) http://www.knsaber.com/category/automotive/

Where did the girls come into this conversation? Haha. This is an intro to basic photography with stationary objects like cars. It's too much to teach how to shoot and pose a girl as an intro class.
