About this Event

Core to every great photograph is proper focus - and getting it right in-camera is one of the most essential skills a photographer can master. In this talk John Greengo dives into critical techniques every photographer needs to know.

Working from material in his new in-depth course “Focus & Sharpness: The Complete Guide,” John will cover both cutting-edge innovations and time-tested methods. Topics include: Focus area, Subject Tracking, Manual focusing, and Shutter speeds for sharpness. Expand your creative control, refine your technique, and learn how to achieve consistently sharp, impactful images.
