"Capturing True Emotion" Photography Book Giveaway

A few weeks ago, I shared with you my excitement about attending the  "Capturing True Emotion" Photography Workshop taught by the fabulous Val Westover and Stephanie Adriana. 

I'm so pleased with all that I've learned and am so excited to report that I've only shot in manual mode since that day in February! Because of that, the quality of my shots have increased ten fold! Here's a few of my favorites to show you...

 

 

 

 

 

Because I loved working with Val & Stef so much, I headed back to another workshop as a volunteer this past weekend. It was great to help others and have the opportunity for more learning & practice.

While it's clear that I think the workshops are fantastic, we know that unfortunately everyone doesn't live near cities where the workshops are offered. So, the next best thing is to learn from Val by reading his book, "Capturing True Emotion: A Photographer's Guide to Understanding the Basic Elements of Photography".

Val's guide walks you step-by-step through the important aspects of photography. Topics include ISO, aperture, shutter speed, metering, light, and more! The writing is straightforward, easy to understand, and much more interesting than just your camera's manual! After working through the book, you will have a much better understanding of not only how your camera works, but how to take better photos! It's a wonderful resource for anyone that wants to understand their camera/photography better and would also make a great gift! With all the information it contains, I think $14.95 is a fantastic price!  But, FREE is even better!!  

Val has agreed to giveaway a copy of "Capturing True Emotion" to TWO lucky Mom Endeavors readers! 

WINNERS: 
Congratulations to dmarie1975 & Vivian! Hope this takes your photography to all new heights! ENJOY!

And, remember, if you weren't a lucky winner, you can still buy Val's book--$14.95 is a fantastic price for all the great information in this book!
