| Over the past several years, Blue Crane Digital has produced training DVDs and laminated reference cards for new owners of digital cameras. Our approach has been to get the emerging photographer up and running as quickly as possible, and give them the confidence needed to explore the world of digital imaging.
Now, we are proud to announce a new DVD series aimed at the digital photographer with a little more experience. ‘Through the Eyes of a Pro’ is a series of training DVDs aimed at developing better photographers using digital equipment and proven approaches. Volumes 1 and 2 of this series include conversations and photo shoots with famed photographer and teacher, Tim Mantoani. During the course of these two volumes, we follow Tim on a stock photo shoot, an outdoor portrait session, a wildlife shoot, and a little league game. In all these situations Tim explains the challenges faced and how to overcome them. Throughout the presentation, Tim shares experiences and techniques gained over twenty years of shooting athletes, sporting events, weddings, as well as commercial and personal assignments. Hundreds of his photos are included in these DVDs. Blue Crane Digital has published a two-volume set geared to owners of Nikon DSLRs and another set of volumes for Canon shooters. View some of Tim’s work here: http://www.mantoani.com During the combined running time of three and one-half hours, Volumes 1 and 2 present the viewer with a structure for developing solid photographic skills. Several photo assignments are presented, along with Tim’s approach to making a great image. Tim also discusses lenses, meters, tripods, and other accessories. If you own a Digital SLR, even if it is not a Canon or Nikon, the first two volumes in this series can help improve your photography. Spend a few hours with this remarkable photographer and teacher, and see the world through Tim’s eyes.
