About the event

We often focus our efforts exclusively on understanding how the exposure triangle works to get the correct exposure for an image, but don't spend enough time on ensuring our shots will turn out sharp. It can be easy to get a well exposed shot that we think looks great on the back of the camera, and then be disappointed at how blurry it is when viewing it at full size on the computer. If anything, focus is MORE important than exposure, as editing tools can often fix a shot that is not well exposed, but you can't do anything to fix a blurry shot!

Join me for this two hour interactive online session as we explore all things focus related to help you create tack-sharp images.

N.B. If you aren't able to watch the session live, a recording will be provided to all registered attendees afterwards.
