My name is David Diener and I have been teaching at Emory Continuing Education for a while now. It is very rewarding teaching photography and editing to a new batch of photographers. We have have students from all walks of life. It is nice to meet so many wonderful photographers and talented artists who want to learn photography and improve their craft. Emory Continuing Education classes are a great way to improve your photography talents or learn a new photography skill.

I am teaching Digital Photography 1 starting March 23rd. We will go over composition, selective focus, saturated colors and proper exposure all combine to produce images that make the best use of digital photography's tools in order to tell great stories. Ideal for both enthusiastic hobbyists as well as serious amateurs, our course will utilize a combination of class lectures and photographic assignments to convey the importance of megapixels, file compression, and print-versus-email output. We will also explore the more complex aspects of photography: lighting, composition, color, depth of field, and more. Students are encouraged to share work for enhancement of class discussions.

One of the latest trends in wedding photography is shooting at night. The wedding photographers at Atlanta Artistic Weddings have a lot of experience with this, whether it be the sparkler exit or sneaking out of the wedding and taking a few dramatic photos at the blue hour.

This week’s engagement session by the Atlanta wedding photographers at AtlantaArtisticWeddings was with Amanda and Kenny. I met them right after sunrise at McDaniels Farm. It was a very cool morning in the high 40’s. They could not have been more gracious about the cold weather. She wore a beautiful long dress and he a complimenting dress shirt and slacks. Perfect for a brisk fall morning in Georgia.

McDaniel’s Farm is a hidden gem of a park. It is on a 1930’s era farm with historic barns and outbuildings. There are also mixed use trails that go around the park. In the middle of that there are fields with some great morning light. In the very center of the McDaniels Farm is the main house owned by the McDaniels family. It is a great location for your engagement photos, providing lots of options for your Atlanta photographer.
