Dubai Photography Walks

Hello everyone,
A fun way to learn more about Photography is with Photography Walks!
It is always more fun to learn something with other people that are just as enthusiastic as you are yourself. I am just about to start this seasons Photography Walks. Tomorrow we are off to Bastakiya and on Friday we are walking around Heritage Village. I still have a few spots available for both days if anyone would like to join in.
I also still have a few spots available for 13 and 14 November 2014 and 8 and 9 January 2015.
Send me an email or call me if you are interested to join. info@shippeyphotography.com Mob. 055 107 89 88
We will walk around for 2 hours and photograph every time will be a different location so you can join in all of them if you like. I already have a few bookings for all of them which is lovely. The groups are small to ensure that I can assist all of you with capturing the photograph you have in mind. I am at hand the whole time to answer any photography related questions you might have. After the photo walk you will be invited to a closed FaceBook group where you can continue to ask photography related questions if anything came up once you got home and looked at your photographs as well as upload up to 5 of your photographs that you took during the photo walk and I will critique /give you feed back on them, everyone will see all the comments and photographs so we can all learn from each other as well.
To participate is only AED 150 per Photo Walk, if you book more than 3 at the same time you will receive a discount, so each Photo walk is then AED 125. No prior knowledge of photography is needed. All you need is to have your own camera with you. Can be any camera.
Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Hope to see you at one of my Photography Walks!
Happy snapping everyone!!

Dubai Photography Walk About and #Sony #Snapathon

I would like to say a big thank you to everyonen that participated in todays photography walk about down at Heritage Village. I had a great time and from what I have heard from the participants so far they did too! Which I like to hear of course. These walks are all about learning how to use your camera for its best ability and to start thinking creatively. Today we talked a lot about composition. How do you best compose the ultimate photograph? Well join me at my next one and find out!
The next Photography Walk About dates are:
11 of November, 15th of November 24th of November and 5th of December.
Send me an email with the one you would like to attend. They will all be at different locations around Dubai so you can attend more than one if you like and join me capturing Dubai frame by frame.
As some of you know already I am this week testing out the yet to be released Sony QX100 smart phone camera. So of course I brought it along with me this morning and snapped a few frames with that one as well. I have had it for 4 days now and it is very impressive what such a small device can do. I am most impressed with the ability to shoot in Aperture priority just like you would a dslr camera! Lots of potential for such a small camera and lens all in one. It is small enough to fit in your pocket unless you are wearing skinny jeans then you will have a tuff time. I have been walking around with it in my diaper bag, since I rarely leave the house without that one I now always have a full fledged camera with me all the time that takes no space what so ever. Super cleaver.
Over and out for now. Please leave a comment if you have any questions about anything. If you want to sign up for my Photography Walk Abouts send me an email to: info@shippeyphotogrpahy.com
Looking forward to see you all again soon.

Dubai Photography Walk About

Back by popular demand are my Photography Walk Abouts.
The first one will take place on Monday the 28th of October between 09.00-11.00 in Dubai.
I only have a few spaces for each Photography Walk About to make sure that we are a small group so everyone get the assistance they need. We will walk around in Dubai and capture its beauty as we see it. I am at hand to help you to capture the photograph you have visualized in your mind that you want to take. I will help you out with taking your camera off the Automatic mode and start using the creative modes that you have available for you. All you need is to bring your own camera, comfortable shoes and plenty of water it is still warm out there. I charge AED 80 per person for the walk about.
If you would like to sign up please send me an email to info@shippeyphotography.com
I will put together a schedule for all the photography walks and they will be at different locations so you can attend more than one if you like and capture Dubai one frame at a time.
It will be a fun filled morning for sure. I will start it off by just giving you some hints of what you should be thinking about when you photograph in order to take a better photo.

Hope to see you on the 28th of October 2013 at 09.00

All the best.
