Henry’s Digital Show

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!
