What we’re about
Thunderbolt Photographics offers guided photography outings and adventures for all levels of photographers. Emphasis is placed on fieldwork, capturing photos in the field that will lead to great images. Our philosophy is simple - take the best possible image in the field, so post-editing is minimal. We travel to a variety of locations: abandoned and historic buildings and interiors, junkyards, scenic America, and also specific location/subject matter events. We concentrate on fieldwork. I provide attention to the participants at whatever level they desire. Some folks sign up just for access to a specific location, while others seek my guidance and instruction. Each meetup event will list those details. Capturing an image at the maximum sharpness is taught utilizing shutter speeds, ISO settings, aperture, and equipment. The use of manual exposure and taking advantage of available light is taught. Good composition can be a confusing subject. We explore many compositional options during the fieldwork.
There are three levels of workshops.
- Free....yes... free.
- Small donations are requested when free access is given to a private location to give to property owners/caretakers as a token of appreciation.
- Workshops where I have to pay for access and pro-rate it among participants.
At Thunderbolt Photographics, we believe there is no substitute for field work and instruction.
