All photographers will learn and benefit from the Picture Perfect Workshops. Todd and Brad cover many technical aspects of photography, including shutter speed, F-stops and aperture, ISO, depth of field, etc. Their goal is to teach people how to make better choices with their own camera...and to have a thrilling experience while learning.

    What to Bring to the Picture Perfect Weekend Workshop:


    • At least 6 different prints (any size) of your best work for critique. These must be printed out on paper or photo paper. They can be your favorite shots, even if they didn't turn out. We can help you figure out what went wrong.
    • A camera (film or digital) and instruction manual.
    • Bring lots of batteries for your own kind of camera. Remember that cool evenings on Lake Michigan can eat up battery life.
    • A working tripod that works with your own camera would be strongly advised.
    • Dress for the elements. It can get pretty cool on Lake Michigan, even during the summer.
    • Good hiking shoes for walking in the sand and on the water's edge is recommended for people who get cold feet. Waterproof boots are recommended.
    • A good hat that you can put in your pocket and taken out in case you need to protect yourself from the winds coming off Lake Michigan.
    • And, of course, gloves that are easy to take on and off while you are taking pictures are also recommended.


    close up
    You never know what the weather will be like on the shores of Lake Michigan. Hopefully it will be warm and beautiful, but if not, it is worth it to be prepared. The Reeds shoot in almost any weather and the best shots usually come during storms!
