POST WORKSHOP INFORMATION and FIELD TIPS Complete Workshop Syllabus Jack Graham Photography Workshops AFTER THE WORKSHOP … WHAT NOW? ©Jack Graham and Jack Graham Photography LLC Copying this document without permission is a violation of Federal Copyright Laws V1306_v42.rkg Page | 1 To my Workshop Attendees, First of all, thank you for coming to my workshop. I hope you learned a lot, recorded some good images, made many friends and feel your valuable time and effort was worth it. Most workshops end, the folks depart and that is that. In many cases you are left trying to remember all the important subjects we discussed in the field. I believe that providing my workshop attendees with this syllabus of what we discussed is not only my responsibility, but an invaluable addition to the workshop experience. Thus this publication exists. I update this information frequently so if you do (and I hope you will) attend another Jack Graham Photography Workshop, you will most likely receive a newer version with more information than previously. I am always amazed at how many people ask me questions when the answers are within this document. That tells me they don’t read it. Please take some time and read this document from front to back, click on the links etc. You’ll learn a lot. Believe me, I offer this syllabus to you as part of your workshop experience. As we discussed in the field, it’s hard to take notes and remember everything we talked about when we are all involved with making images and absorbing so much information in such a small amount of time. Included in this syllabus are topics we discuss in the field and in our classroom. As I said, this is a “living” document and I continually add and update things as necessary. Please let me know if you have any questions or just want to call and say hello from time to time. My contact information is found on my WEBSITE. Please also check out MY BLOG for timely information and informative articles. I also encourage you to find somewhere to store your images online. Sites like Smugmug, Zenfolio, Photobucket, Shutterfly, or the one I use, PHOTOSHELTER. This online photography website provides this service very inexpensively. Please don’t hesitate to upload a few images from the workshop, then give me a call and we’ll set up a time to review them. Here is my personal gallery on Photoshelter. Page | 2 In addition, more of the information and more that I cover on my workshops is also in print form on my E-Book series available for purchase and immediate download. Click HERE for the link directly to my e-books Most likely at some point you will be out in the field somewhere and use some of the things we talked about. If you come back with a good image as a result, think of our time together and know it was worth all of the 4 a.m. wake up calls and the late dinners! Please pay attention to the very last page, and the very last paragraph. If you do nothing else, do this. Let’s do it again sometime. Thank you all for coming.

It doesn’t mean it’s right or wrong. I recommend you get out and shoot, shoot and then shoot some more. What’s most important is when you get back home you become extremely critical of your work. (And I mean critical!) What you have heard from me over the past few days are in many cases my thoughts and recommendations that I have gathered from some of the legends in nature photography over the years I have been lucky enough to have witnessed in action. Please visit my website and blog for lots of articles and information on what equipment I use, etc. You can also visit other sites – of much better known photographers than I – and check out what they use (such as John Shaw, etc.). If you read no further than here, please take a few minutes and read these brief articles, mostly from my blog regarding making quality images. I guarantee you’ll get something out of them! 1) Wrong is Right…and Other Considerations 2) Focus on the Unconventional 3) Seven steps to making quality images 4) What you just don’t find a photograph 5) Make your images Sharp 6) When reality isn’t good enough 7) Business and Nature Photography 8) Five reasons images succeed 9) See the Light Page | 7 SPONSOR INFORMATION and DISCOUNTS: Within this article you’ll read about a few companies I work with that can offer you superior products and in some cases discounts as a workshop attendee.

  • Dalla FM Alla FM3A (1977-1999). Prima Parte – Arriva La FM
    Dalla FM alla FM3A (1977-1999). Prima Parte – Arriva la FM. Viva la FM! Premessa: La nascita delle Nikon SLR compatte La prima metà degli anni '70 è stato uno dei periodi più ricchi di fermenti innovativi per le SLR (Single Lens Reflex = reflex mono-obiettivo). Già nel 1972 la Olympus OM1 accende la rivoluzione nel sistema delle SLR medie, poi Pentax presenta il suo famoso trio di macchine con attacco K (K2, KM e KX), e nel 1975 anche Canon si adegua con l'automatica AE1. Nel 1976 le nuove ME e MX della Pentax, casa particolarmente attiva, vengono elette le SLR più compatte del mondo. Mentre la Nikon regnava incontrastata su tutti con la splendida professionale F2, le Nikon di fascia media - le Nikkormat - stavano lentamente perdendo la loro posizione di leadership, perchè ormai troppo spartane (e pesanti). Quindi il 1977 fu davvero un anno storico per la Nikon: - questo grazie alla modifica del tradizionale attacco-F in AI (Automatic Indexing), un innovativo sistema di accoppiamento macchina-ob; - e grazie alla presentazione di ben 5 modelli nuovi (F2A, Nikkormat FT3, FM, EL2 e F2AS nell'ordine, seguiti dalla FE nel '78) che dovevano sfruttare al meglio le nuove caratteristiche dell'attacco ob. E lo fecero. L'attacco AI fu uno degli elementi chiave che permisero alla Nikon di distanziare nuovamente i concorrenti alla fine degli anni '70. Le Nikon di classe media della serie "FM" iniziarono proprio con la Nikon FM. La filosofia della FM Con la FM c'è da una parte l'abbandono della filosofia costruttiva di macchine pesanti, spartane nei comandi e fatte senza risparmio di materiale, dall'altra l'approdo a corpi macchina più piccoli, maneggevoli e leggeri, dotati di comandi e dispositivi più moderni e comodi, pur senza smentire la tradizione Nikon di solidità e affidabilità.

  • The Nikon Guide to 35Mm SLR Cameras (1982)
    GUIDE TO 35MM SLR CAMERAS PRESENTED BY NIKON TECHNICAL SERVICES $2.50 Foreword If you're new to single lens reflex photography, the name "Nikon" may be new to you. It's been old hat to professional photographers for many years now, because it's the camera used by more professional photographers than all other 35mm cameras combined. Before you start thinking this is going to be a full fledged commercial for Nikon cameras, you can relax. You're not likely to see the name Nikon pitched again till you get to our equipment section at the end of this book. Why then are we doing it? Because we feel that as the recognized leader in fine photography, we have a responsibility as well as an interest to spread the word. To spend energy and money helping photography to grow and prosper. This book is just one example of that responsibility. Another is Nikon World magazine, a 32-page quarterly publication featuring magnificent portfolios, notes on new Nikon equipment and photo tips, too. Plus, Nikon Professional Service technicians are at major news events to aid the professional Nikon photographer. Photography means different things to different people. It may be a fine art, a satisfying profession, or simply a most enjoyable and exciting hobby. We sincerely hope that this book will help it find a place in your life. —NIKON TECHNICAL SERVICES © 1982 Nikon Inc., Garden City, NY 11530. All rights reserved.

  • Nikon FE (FRE) Tutorial by Eugene Pate
    Nikon FE (FRE) Tutorial by Eugene Pate https://learncamerarepair.com/ https://www.facebook.com/ groups/360490091319202/ Post #1 https://www.facebook.com/groups/360490091319202/?post_id=587093001992242 An old customer sent his Nikon FE with the metering not working, the auto speeds not working and when trying to take a photo on auto the shutter hangs open - a typical problem would be bad batteries in this model, a quick check revealed the batteries were good ... a check of the functional components revealed the aperture control ring ( the ring held in by the lens mount ) moves about a quarter of its movement then sticks. The aperture control ring is cord coupled to the speed resistor assembly, Nikon calls this part an FRE for functional resistance element - its function is to change with the selected lens aperture providing input to the metering circuit ( this is the dial on the top cover where you select the film speed or ASA/ISO ). I'm going to disassemble the camera to shed some light as to where this system is malfunctioning. First things first, always pull the batteries, an accidental short at the circuit could damage an IC ( integrated circuit chip). Set the battery cap and batteries aside and remove the screws holding the bottom cover - these Phillips looking screws are actually cross point screws and a Phillips screw driver will not engage the slot properly, when you attempt to remove a tight screw with a Phillips screw driver it's easy to damage the screw head making the simple task of removing a screw a headache - Curt Fargo at micro-tools.com has the tools and materials required for those of you venturing into DIY camera repair.
