Appropriate for DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras with manual exposure settings.
Today’s cameras offer the photographer a wealth of tools that can lead to beautiful photographs. Capturing the perfect portrait of a loved one, a fleeting moment leading to the winning goal, or a stunning travel photo takes practice and know-how.
Learn how YOU, not the camera, can control the final image by choosing the appropriate setting for the look you want. 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.
This class is designed for those who want to learn more about photography basics and manual exposure settings.
Topics Include:
Participants are encouraged to bring their cameras. As Marie discusses camera features or menu settings, you can follow along and learn how to set them. An extra battery, memory card, and your instruction manual are also very helpful to have on hand at the class.
People who like this class might also enjoy the In-the-Field-Shooting classes, especially the Fieldwork classes, as a way to reinforce the material covered in the classroom.
Our DC classroom has been remodeled and is a huge room now, plenty of space to really spread out.
Note: Students will be required to follow COVID-19 Safety Practices, conduct a Self-Screening Health Assessment and sign a Waiver of Liability prior to attending a class.
