FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I cannot make it to a workshop. Do you have an online version of your workshops?
A: Yes! Camera Easy is my online course and I even recommend it as a followup to the live events. If you can’t make it out to a live event workshop, then Camera Easy is just what the doctor ordered.
Q: I am a pure beginner. I literally know nothing about the camera and only use the auto stuff. Is this the course for me?
A: Yes. The intro course will allow you to understand how the camera works. Everyone has to start somewhere!
Q: If I am already quite familiar with my camera is this the workshop for me? What topics will be covered?
A:, Yes, this is definitely the correct workshop. There will of course be some repetition on a few items, however, I have a very different approach and from my experience, with thousands of photographers that have come through this course, everyone benefits starting here.
With that being said, I have a few questions for you:
What camera are you using?
Do you shoot in manual mode?
Do you have an external Flash?
Please list your two favourite lenses that you currently own?
If you shoot at night (aurora/stars/lightning) please attach one or two images.
By answering these questions I will be able to ensure we get you in the right workshop.

Q: I have a Panasonic ZS100 which is an advanced travel camera, it has the usual capabilities but no interchangeable lens. Is it worth me taking the course when I have a limited camera?
A: ZS100 is a fantastic camera. Although it is not a dslr camera, it has every bit of the necessary functionality and is totally suitable for the workshop. That being said, one of the outcomes from the workshop will likely be that you will discover that there are a few limitations with this camera. I suggest taking the workshop with this camera and if and when you decide to upgrade to a better version, you will have a great idea of what you need and want.
Q: Am I able to purchase a gift certificate for someone?
A: Yes, gift certificates are available in any denomination and can be purchased by emailing tracy@tornadohunter.ca. We will wait to contact the recipient until after the gift has been received.
Q: Is a micro 4/3 camera is suitable to take this class?
A: Yes
Q: I was wondering about these classes as I have a mirrorless camera and would love to know how to use it. Are these classes beneficial for my type of camera. I was hesitant to sign up because of this.
A: Yes
Q: I have an older Camera – Canon T3i
A: Perfect, don’t buy anything before the workshop. We will spend some time discussing purchasing and things to avoid.
Q: I have a Nikon D90 which is about 10 yrs old. Would that suffice for the workshop?
A: Perfect. Yes, this is a wonderful camera, however the technology is older. It will be great for the workshop and then you can make a more informed decision about purchasing after your two days with Greg.
Q: I have taken the Intro course. What does the intermediate course offer that is different? What if I “forget” some of the stuff I learned in the beginner course?
A: You are absolutely ready to take the Intermediate course. We will review a few things from the Intro class before we get started. The intermediate workshop will build on the skills you learned in the intro workshop and focus on more advanced techniques like bracketing, tripod shooting, long exposures, workflow, night shooting and some editing
