DEBRIEFING - CPL BRADSHAW

"Shoot camp was awesome! It helped me to realize why certain pictures would turn out dark, grainy, or discolored. I am finding myself playing with the settings constantly to get the right mix for the right situation. I am already noticing a difference in my pictures, and I had a great time! 

Since I left, I feel like I have grown so much as a photographer. I didn't fully get it down while I was there, but now that I have studied all the work we did, I feel like I am getting better. 

Shoot camp was a great basic program that laid everything out well, and helped me to better understand my camera! 

Thank you, Shoot camp!"

One thing's for sure. We are having another Shoot CAMP! And these shooters are proof that classroom instruction and hands-on learning are a winning combo! 

Sgt. Shea Boom, Gen. Justin and I (Sgt. Sarah B.) are coming up with a plan to initiate Operation Encore. Not only will we address new recruits ready for Basic Training (Shoot Camp Lv. 1), but also our recent graduates for Advanced Training (Shoot Camp Lv. 2). 

Please keep up with the blog and our twitter (@shootcamp) for updates on the advancement of Operation Encore. 

DEBRIEFING - CPL JOBE

"Just wanted to thank y'all for Shoot Camp.  It was an awesome day -- it has been a long time since I took a day just for myself.  I feel armed with a ton of knowledge and can't wait to shoot, shoot, shoot.

So, for a review . . .
1.  Loved the venue, music,  materials, t-shirt, theme, etc.  Very professional!
2.  The PowerPoint was great.  Especially liked the example shots with details listed.  Made it much easier for me to wrap my brain around the concepts. 
3.  Having the opportunity to shoot models was great.  It was nice to be able to hear instructions then shoot for myself.  Maybe more of this in smaller groups?
4.  The question/answer time was so valuable -- can y'all just come home with me and answer all me questions at any time??? :)
 
I will love to come to a Shoot Camp II."

"I just wanted to that you all for a wonderful experience this past weekend.  I have really learned a lot from you and have already put some of my new knowledge to use.  I am so impressed with how much more I am liking my pictures and how much less I think about how I could alter them using photoshop.  Thank you so much."
