I went last year, and the year before…
The Henry’s Photo & Digital Imaging Show is back!
From October 16th-18th Henry’s and show sponsors (Canon, Nikon, etc). will invade the Toronto International Centre once again and I can hardly wait. There are always great deals on electronics, camera bags, new cameras (I would like to see this new Canon 7D that was recently announced, “oooo”)
I’ve only ever brought my point & shoot camera, but I think I’ll tote along the SLR this time. Photogs have the opportunity to try out different lenses and compose shots with the models on site as well.
I’ll be there all day Saturday. I want to sit in on lighting presentations, especially Gary Fong presenting on weddings. There’s also a Travel & Photojournalism session that I’m definitely going to be at.
As usual, there will be photojournalists from the Toronto Star sharing photos and their experiences. By far my favourite part of the Henry’s event!
If you’re interested in going, check out their website and download the presentation schedule.
Over this past weekend, Henry’s (Digital Camera Centre) held their annual Photographic, Digital & Video Show in Toronto. I’ve only been once before but didn’t have much time to spend, so as soon as I found out about this year’s event, I made sure my schedule was cleared!
Henry’s has a part of their business dedicated to teaching anyone and everyone about photography, videography, and digital imaging skills. At the annual show, they hold 45-minute versions of these classes – free with your admission. (I looked online when I got home to see how much each three-hour class is, and they average $70. Not bad, but free is good too!)
My friend & I each attended about 4 classes over the course of the day. We arrived at 10:45am, just when the first class was starting. However, we decided to tour around and see what was happening at each kiosk. Since we are both Canon users, naturally we went straight to that booth first :-)
So many awesome things to see and learn about… I must say, my favourite thing was listening to the two photojournalists from The Toronto Star! I could have stayed and listened to them for hours. Unfortunately, I wanted to attend a few of the classes. As soon as they were over though, I headed straight back to them.
I sat in to learn more about posing, filters, flash fundamentals, and we stayed briefly for the Canon class as it was how to use the basic functions of the camera, like turning it on. I loved them all! I am definitely interested in taking a three-hour course at Henry’s someday… excellent information and energetic teachers always make interesting learning sessions!
—–this lens is for sale for $25,000. Whoa!
