Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this beginner photography class:

Learn how you, not the camera, can control the look of an image. This course is designed for those who want to learn more about photography basics and manual exposure settings.

Today’s cameras offer the photographer a wealth of tools. Taking your camera off the auto mode gives you the opportunity to use them to craft compelling images.

Understanding how your camera makes an exposure will help you decide which settings to use to freeze or blur motion and control the depth of field to capture the image you want.

Course Content

Course consists of three 1 hour 20 minute instructor led live Zoom sessions.

Participants are encouraged to have their cameras ready at each session. As Michael discusses camera features or settings, you will follow along and learn how to set them. An extra battery, memory card, and your instruction manual will be helpful to have on hand for the Zoom sessions.

This course is appropriate for any camera with manual exposure settings.

  • ISO and White Balance Settings
  • Shutter Speeds - Controlling motion to add emphasis
  • Depth of Field - How aperture affects what is in focus
  • Exposure modes - Program, Aperture, Shutter
  • Focus Settings
  • Resolution and Compression
  • Composition - What makes an interesting photograph

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
