Welcome new students!

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to welcome the new students and give them some information. Some of my students may already know this, and some may have been looking for it.

First, the ways to find me. I'm here obviously, but I'm also here: http://www.frankwisephotography.com/ which has had some new work posted so please come take a look. And I'm here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/frankwise/ along with many other members of the Tri Community Tribe. And I'm here: http://www.modelmayhem.com/frankwise

And sometimes I'm here: http://www.supershoots.net/portfolio.cfm?ID=368 and of course I'm ALWAYS here: http://twitter.com/FrankWisePhoto but you will probably never find me here: http://www.myspace.com/frankwisephotography. So where can we find you? Feel free to tell us where to find you in the comments below.

I have created an Amazon store which is down to the right over here------------>

that has some helpful links to items we have talked about and things I use and recommend to make it easy for you to find. Now obviously you don't have to buy them from there, but I couldn't think of an easier way to do it.

Now onto some more interesting stuff. Coming up this week in my classes.

Monday night in Beginning Wedding we will be discussing "Shooting the big day"

Tuesday night in Lighting on Location we will be working on getting everyone comfortable with setting their cameras and flashes for off camera flash.

On Wednesday in Advanced Wedding I was asked quite a bit about meters and lighting, so we will cover how to use a meter, and we may have some hot lights to play with, "ala Jerry Ghionis"

As for navigating around the blog, I have included a list of links to places and people that are relevant to our passions, please visit them. They include fabulous photographers, products I use, sites dediated to rating cameras and lenses, and photoshop tutorials and actions.

Here are some interesting things I have come across this week:

Many of you know the model at the top of the page as Wendy. This is from a shoot we did in a very interesting location that has a funny story about it, but that will be saved for another date.

Stay tuned, I hope to update again before next weekend.

Just so you know, most of the blog posts are much more focused, but I try and do something like this at the beginning of every semester t get everyone new up to speed. Hope it helps, and see you in school!
