Private Photography Lessons Offered
I am now offering private photography lessons. My experience with photography is as follows:
· 42 years of experience.
· Graduated with High Honors with a degree in Professional Photography from Daytona State College.
· Worked for 9 years as an industrial/promotional photographer for Pratt & Whitney Aircraft.
· Owned my own commercial photography studio for several years.
· Have been published in a major national magazine.
· Have experience with several different formats in film cameras, including 35mm, 2 ¼ square, 2 ¼ x 2 ¾, and 4 x 5 view cameras.
· Familiar with all aspects of the chemical darkroom, both color and B&W.
· Familiar with DSLRs and the digital darkroom (Adobe Photoshop CS5).
· Have experience with both location and studio lighting. In the studio, I have used electronic flash equipment or natural window light, or a combination of the two.
I can teach beginning, intermediate, or advanced photography skills. This type of training has distinct advantages over a college course or a course on the internet. If you are interested, please contact me, Don Bassett, at dwbassett616@yahoo.com or talk to me at the next meeting of the Gainesville Photo Club. Thanks.

Cambridge In Colour Web Site
I recently discovered an extensive photography learning web site called Cambridge In Colour, "a learning community for photographers". The site has extensive articles and tutorials that any photographer can benefit from. At the very least, I'm sure that you will find resources that will guide you through fulfilling our club's monthly photo themes.
Check out this very cool web site at www.cambridgeincolour.com to see what I'm so excited about and sign up to receive Cambridge In Colour's email newsletter.
