Teaching flash is like learning your camera all over again.  Your flash will work like your camera.  It can change exposures or light levels, it can zoom, it can bounce light, it can be soft or strong, it can change color.  Doing it right requires hands on instructors working with you and your flash, so to accomplish this, Mike has invited John Caulfield as a guest instructor.  Together, Mike and John will make this a "mind-numbing" but unforgettable skills, technique and learning session.

Affordably priced for Kansas City camera club members and Mike Jensen Workshop Alumni, this all day intensive retails for $249, but for CC members and MJ alumni, your price is discounted down to $219.  There is limited room, so sign up fast!
