Tamron Events

Get into the Halloween spirit with this unique on location photo workshop. Photographers will have exclusive access to Blind Scream the North Bay’s largest haunted house, as well as costumed characters to model in the spooky sets. Tamron will be on hand with lenses and lighting setups as well as two instructors to help you capture the creepy characters and scenes.

Spend Sunday October 11^th with Shutterbug and Tamron at Safari West. This is a two-part class. Session one is Saturday October 10^th at 4pm in the Shutterbug classroom for a seminar on how to best capture the animals you will encounter at Safari West, and for photographing wildlife in general. You will have the opportunity to borrow Tamron’s loaner lenses to shoot during the part two.

The shooting part of the class takes place on Sunday October 11^th at 2pm. We will climb aboard one of the custom safari vehicles where safari guides will position us as safely as possible for the best wildlife photos. Each safari jeep will be limited to 9 photographers, so no one is caught in a middle seat. Over 90 species call Safari West home including cheetahs, lemurs, giraffes and wildebeest; and the view from the jeep gets us a great view of the herds. After the jeep ride we’ll saunter through the Amani Oasis Aviary where demoiselle cranes, scarlet ibis, and flamingoes parade around their lagoon home.

Photographers Night

Join us for a special night of photography at the Aquarium of the Pacific.

Professional and amateur photographers are invited to capture the Aquarium’s wildlife during exclusive “photographers only” hours.

Meet vendors like Tuttle Cameras; test new equipment; attend an intro workshop; and meet other wildlife photo enthusiasts.

Now is your chance to take the photos you have always wanted. On this night only, the Aquarium is available to photographers for the sole purpose of getting their dream photos without having to worry about the general public either getting in their shots or being bothered by their equipment.

Part One: Discovery Park Workshop (Oct 14, 7-9pm)

This cinematic horror photography workshop is set against the forests, trails, and historic landscapes of Seattle’s Discovery Park. Inspired by Southern Gothic horror, classic vampire films, werewolf folklore, and the eerie beauty of the Pacific Northwest, Zeus Ramirez will guide you as build scenes that feel pulled from a forgotten horror film candlelit rituals in the woods, mysterious figures emerging from the darkness, vampires wandering through the night, and the possibility of something much worse hiding just outside the frame. We’ll focus on practical lighting, atmosphere, composition, movement, and in-camera effects to create images that feel haunting and cinematic rather than staged. The goal is to create photos that tell a story and leave something unexplained.

Part Two: Post Processing at Glazer’s Camera (Oct 17, 1:00-2:30pm)

The story continues in the post-processing class at Glazer’s Camera, in the second floor Classroom, where we’ll take the images created during Fright in Focus and push them further into their cinematic world. Zeus will take you through his process for turning a raw photograph into a finished image, including color grading, contrast, selective lighting, environmental cleanup, atmospheric effects, and subtle compositing. We’ll look at how small decisions in Photoshop and Lightroom can completely change the mood and story of an image transforming a straightforward location photograph into something that feels like a frame from a film. The class will focus on creating a cohesive visual language while still keeping the photograph grounded in the original capture.

Bozeman Camera’s annual Photo Expo is back and Tamron is very happy to be returning to Montana in support! Tamron pro Jake Sloan will be leaving his Alaska home to join us and will be giving a talk that breaks down how he preps for and captures one of his photographic journeys into the Alaskan wilderness… Jake will even showcase a bit of how his timelapse workflow has changed and expanded with the TAMRON-LINK and Tamron’s Lens Utility (TLU) app! Exclusive pricing, free firmware updates, a room full of cameras and lenses and education. A perfect weekend in Bozeman.
