POINT AND SHOOT (Basic Photography Workshop) Wave 2

The 2^nd Wave of Owen Segovia Bayog's  POINT AND SHOOT (Basic Photography Workshop) has been a success last Saturday, March 5, 2011 at the Negros Press Club! The activity was comprised of seven (7) participants who were all very proactive and eager to learn and some to improve their skills in photography to the next level.

One thing I observed in this workshop is that although there is a course outline prepared for it, the mentor, Owen Segovia Bayog can still adjust the module to cater to his participants' needs. The introduction to the workshop serves as a take off and then the spontaneity begins. The level of learning does not drop as actual shooting and demonstration were injected in between the lectures. The participants are given the chance to actually see how it’s being done for more retention.


Since the venue was near the Bacolod Public Plaza, the shooters were in for a treat! On that typical Saturday, the plaza showcased a lot of interesting subjects that they can feast their eyes on. They were exposed on how to deal with their subjects among other things. I can see in their photos that they had fun.  But that’s not all. They all proceeded to BREDCO for a portraiture session with Marrion Aburido, my former officemate. They played with the skies, rocks and a variety of poses from the model.  They surely had fun that day!

I think this is what matters most...ensuring that by the end of the workshop, each one of them would go home smiling because they learned something that matters to them.
