I couldn&#8217;t learn as much as I did in this workshop on my own, if I worked hard for years.&#8221; &#8211; Besma A<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jim Doty&#8217;s workshop is excellent. Very down to earth and not so technical to the point of being intimidating.&#8221; &#8211; Steve S<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The amount and quality of information was more than I had hoped for.&#8221; &#8211; Alan M<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jim Doty gives the most warm, intense, wonderful photographic digital workshop. He is truly a gift to those who choose to attend.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 &#8211; Win M<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really had no idea how much you could manipulate a camera to get such great images without using Photoshop.\u00c2\u00a0 I found it amazing!&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 &#8211; Melissa D<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have learned so much more about photography than we ever dreamed existed. Thank you so much for teaching us so much with such enthusiasm.&#8221; &#8211; Pat D<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had NO IDEA my camera was capable of so much.&#8221; &#8211; Vickie R<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Great Workshop! I can use your material to quickly become a better photographer.&#8221; &#8211; Jim T<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your workshop renewed and re-excited my interest in photography. I have some new ideas and ways to &#8216;up my game&#8217;.&#8221; &#8211; Don M<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jim&#8217;s workshop showed me the way to put my DSLR&#8217;s features to use and the advantages of knowing why and how they function. Easy to follow and understand.&#8221; &#8211; Gene S<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hi Jim &#8211; I can&#8217;t wait to get to get out into the field and put what I learned into practice. As you say, Happy Shooting!&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 &#8211; Becky W<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I began to read every book about photography that I could get my hands on. I also enrolled in a nature photography class taught by Jim Doty. Jim&#8217;s class proved incredibly helpful, covering many specific techniques employed by professional photographers that weren&#8217;t in any of the dozens of books I owned. Jim&#8217;s class helped me to develop technically, and the results were instantly apparent.&#8221;\u00c2\u00a0 &#8211; Jeremy B<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jimdoty.com\/About\/teaching\/PoP-2015\/pop-2015.html\">Michigan Nature Photography Workshop<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jimdoty.com\/\">All my workshops<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jimdoty.com\/learn\/exp_book\/exp_book.html\">Recommended photography book to bring to the workshop<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"The best &quot;how to&quot; nature photography books\">The best &#8220;how to&#8221; nature photography books<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are only a couple of openings left for my nature photography workshop August 14-16 on beautiful Lake Charlevoix in northern Michigan.
