Everyone will participate in the model shoot and also the location shoot. Attendees will be encouraged to bring their current DSLR or other equipment for comparison.

All files shot will be available to everyone on a DVD at the end of the day. As many large format prints as we have had time to make may also be taken home or back to your studio. Attendees are invited to bring their laptop computers to work with the files that they shoot during the day as well as their own CF memory cards.
