Get Your Camera Off Auto
|
This class will give you a good foundation of the fundamentals of photography. With this class you will be able to take your camera off the auto setting and into other shooting modes in order to take great images of your travel and vacations, family and friends, and a variety of other shooting conditions.
You will learn about proper exposure and lighting through the use of the exposure triangle (ISO, aperture, and shutter speed). With this knowledge you will begin to understand the best uses of those settings to achieve the results you want, whether that is capturing the action of your child’s sporting event or close up shots of hummingbirds in your backyard.
Some topics covered during the workshop:
Bring your own digital camera, or borrow one of ours. Students are encouraged to bring their camera manual, memory cards, fully charged spare battery, and note taking materials. Students are given printed workshop materials to keep for guidance on some of the more technical aspects.
No matter what your photography passion may be, this hands on workshop will give you the basic foundational knowledge, confidence, and technical ability necessary to start capturing fantastic photographs! Take control of your camera and become a master of manual shooting modes!
$90 / 3 hours / 14 student maximum
