Gchesterton Posted February 25, 2012 Share #1 Â Posted February 25, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Considering the Leica Akademie workshop in Street Photography in DC... or New York if there's reason to prefer that class. Anyone have experience with them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdriceman Posted February 25, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted February 25, 2012 I took the Street Photography class in NYC in September. IIRC the Leica credit was worth almost as much as the cost of the class, so if you have the time and are going to be buying Leica gear anyway, it is definitely worth it. I felt that the class was well run and very informative. Our guest photographer was excellent and we received some good interactive instruction with good feedback. About half the day was in the classroom and half was out shooting. NYC, of course is just loaded with interesting people and activity. Having lived in DC for awhile I think it would be a good location, but probably not on par with NYC in terms of street photography. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwr50 Posted February 26, 2012 Share #3 Â Posted February 26, 2012 I am a serious amateur photog, and I attended the weekend course in Victoria BC last August and thought it was well worth the price of admission. Most of the attendees were amateurs like myself, although there were one or two Leica newbies in the course, and one or two pros as well . . . a good mix of folks. Â I enjoyed the course and felt that I benefitted from it, although I would recommend getting as familiar as possible with Lightroom (or whatever software you use) before you attend. You'll get more out of the course if you're pretty comfortable doing basic post-processing tasks in your software. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
