Windsor Jan 31st 2026 Cuba March 7th to 14th, Bayfield May 30, Grand Manan NB, August 13-15

Windsor –

Join a relaxed, hands‑on 2‑hour session on January 31st from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., where you’ll learn how to get sharp, eye‑catching photos using nothing more than the camera already in your pocket. All experience levels are welcome—if you can tap your screen, you’re ready for this workshop to join just email me donmartelca@yahoo.ca

You’ll learn:

How to quickly set up your phone for better photos in any light, tap to focus and adjust exposure

Simple composition tricks to make your images look instantly more professional

When and how to use, portrait mode, and basic editing tools

Practical tips for travel, family, and everyday photography

Throughout the session, you’ll see real‑world examples from a cycle trip around the world for Alzheimer’s, with stories behind the images that bring the journey—and the cause—to life. Participants will have time to practice, ask questions, and get direct feedback on their images.

Admission is by pass‑the‑bucket donation in support of Alzheimer’s, so you can learn new skills and help make a difference at the same time.

Explore how to see the world like a photographer and transform the way you create images.

Windsor – Afternoon

Dive into the principles of visual design and the key elements of strong composition in this immersive, hands‑on workshop on January 31st from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. You’ll move beyond “pretty pictures” to understand why certain images grab attention, feel balanced, and tell powerful stories.

You’ll learn:

How to use line, shape, color, light, and negative space to guide the viewer’s eye

Classic composition framing, leading lines, layers, and more

How to build stronger images through point of view, timing, and simplification

Ways to create visual impact in landscapes, portraits, and street scenes

The session will be richly illustrated with photographs from a cycle around the world for Alzheimer’s, using real travel images to break down what works, what doesn’t, and how to elevate your own work. Participants will get hands‑on shooting exercises plus supportive portfolio reviews, giving you practical feedback you can apply immediately to your photography.

    Just wanted to say thanks for the great weekend. I think I’m still on a workshop high!
    Mo, Fredricton New Brunswick
    You gave us so many lessons and teaching points – it was awesome! Big take-away for me – commit to your subject; exposure – set once, use many times; think about what you are trying to do with each photo – don’t just point and click – plan ahead. Oh yeah – Depth of Field and focus!  
    Carol, Fredricton New Brunswick
    Thanks, for a great weekend, it was fun and informative. Now let’s get out there and shoot the hell out of this place LOL although I may require new glasses as I am seeing in a whole new way.
