Online Seminar • Thursday, June 5th

This class is great for those who want a better understanding of the significant role lenses play in the outcome of an image. Join expert staff from National Camera as we cover some of the most common questions people have about choosing the “right” lens and what features best suit their needs.

There is not a one-size-fits-all lens for most photographers, and in most cases the style of photography will vary from one person to another. Some of the key elements to consider are focal length, depth of field and compression; with this in mind, we will highlight a variety of lenses recommended for portraits, sports, wildlife and landscape photography. We will also go over the difference between entry level and professional lenses, how sensor size determines which lenses are available to you, and the must have accessories to take with you on your next photoshoot. The seminar portion of this event will roughly cover the first hour and a half, and we will wrap up with a Q&A portion at the end—be sure to bring your questions!

This class will be recorded for your convenience and will be available for you to review as many times as you’d like for 30 days. Participants will be emailed a downloadable PDF and link to the webinar, so please be sure to provide a working email address when reserving your spot. See additional details below.
