Workshop with Frank Peele - Let's have fun with Drops, Splashes and Crashes!

Join Frank Peele to create amazing images with water and simple objects. We'll do droplets, crash wine glasses together, plop things into liquids, and enjoy the ever-fascinating coffee cup challenge.

• Macro lens if you have it. 
• Lens hoods and protective filters such as UV to keep drops and splashes off lens front elements

About Frank Peele

Frank has a passion for photography that began before he was a teenager – and it’s stronger today than ever. Following a 30-year career in the U. S. Navy as a photographer and photographic officer, he established a practice in commercial and fine-art photography in Redlands. He became active in the Inland Empire Professional Photographers and Videographers (IEPPV), where he is a Past President and Honorary Life Member, and in Professional Photographers of California where he is a Qualified Competition Judge and Judging Panel Moderator. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in motion picture production and film education from the University of Southern California. He is a PPA Certified Professional Photographer who in 2013 was inducted into the PPC Hall of Fame, and the same year also became the first inductee into the IEPPV Hall of Fame. Frank believes that one of the great creative opportunities in photography is to use macro techniques to get close to subjects of many kinds, revealing beauty that is not always obvious to the unaided eye.
