We will explore and photograph two of the most beautiful places of Buenos Aires (La Boca & San Telmo) while you learn photography and develop your creative potential. I am a city native and experienced professional photographer, and I will personally assist you in all the necessary steps to achieve the best photographs you will be able to create. Just before the experience starts, and while you enjoy a cup of coffee and a snack in a typical "porteño" cafe, we will talk about the basics of creative photography—exposure, composition, lighting, camera functions, and so on. Printed information papers will be included in this introduction. After the talk in the cafe, we will walk to the different locations with our cameras and we will take photos, applying what we learned about composition, exposure, depth of field, shutter speed, and so on. If you can't find a good composition, I will help you with that until you succeed. If you are already a pro photographer, I can show you the best and most photogenic places and photographic spots, with the best available light, so you will save a lot of time. Other things to note Bring your reflex or compact digital camera. You will need extra batteries and memory cards with at least 4 GB. Bring Argentine pesos for incidental expenses, tips, and so on.
