Tamron Announces Beyond the Kit Lens Seminars

So, you got a brand new DSLR for Christmas but don't have a clue what it takes to create great photography. Tamron's new "Beyond the Kit Lens" seminars will get you started.

Beyond the Kit Lens is a series of seminars that will give attendees a new perspective on photography. Under the instruction of professional photographers André Costantini & Ken Hubbard, the 2-day seminar is designed to inspire the beginner to enthusiast photographers to make great images by understanding the choices that can be made when shooting. By dissecting a scenario, the instructors will explain how the camera works and how to improve images. Topics that will be discussed include lens choice, focal length, distance to your subject, aperture and shutter speed.

The 2-day event begins with a Meet & Greet followed by a 3 hour-long seminar. The following day, attendees are encouraged to participate in a 45-minute small group session with the instructors for Q&A and discussion. Seating for each seminar is limited and online reservation is required. The cost of the seminar is only $59. Payment and time selection for the 2nd day group session is due at the time of the reservation.
