2016 Basic Digital Photography Series
These classes are for you if you just acquired your first digital camera, have owned one for a while and are disappointed in your results, or want to move beyond auto functions and snap-shots or just want to refresh your skills.
You'll learn how to start controlling light, color, and atmosphere while learning the controls of your camera. Yes, you and your camera will finally become friends! The series is designed to move you, step-by-step from fundamental principals to being able to take control of your camera’s various modes and settings (especially manual mode) – creating the image you want rather than accepting whatever the camera makes.
Class size is limited to allow individualized hands-on instruction with you and your camera. We will show you the settings and how to use them – on your camera – hands-on.
Constructive and friendly image-sharing sessions will provide valuable insight on ways you can improve your pictures.
Required: A DSLR or other digital camera with manual mode. The main thing is that your camera has a setting: Manual Shooting Mode or something with a similar name.Most cameras have this.
If you have questions about your camera, use the contact form on the sidebar to ask us.
Previous Attendees: We've reorganized the material and divided it into smaller segments. You're invited to attend some or all of these workshops.
