Learning Digital Photography Class Level 1 - Exposure - 081020

The first step in learning photography is to understand exposure.  In essence, we need to capture the right amount of light for the right length of time and at the right speed.  Simple enough, yet complex enough to be deserving of a full day lesson. 

This class will be run over 4 days for 1½ hours per day.  The plan is to have two days in the classroom followed by two days outside shooting and practicing what you've learned.  Class size is significantly limited to assure personalized attention when we are out shooting. 

What you'll learn in this class   

I'll lead you through basic photography to make sure you understand how to make a correct exposure.  How to use your shutter speeds, f/stops (aperture) and ISO in conjunction with the correct white balance to create properly exposed images every time.  

This seminar is geared towards providing you with the basics of photography from the ground up as they relate to Digital (and Film) cameras. Here's some of the many topics we'll discuss:

·     ISO - What it is and how to select the right setting.

·     White Balance, understanding it and using it effectively.

·     Setting the f/stop, shutter speed, and ISO to achieve the correct exposure.

·     Taking great photographs in some of the worst conditions.

·     How to come home from your vacation with photos that you'll want to share with everyone.

·     Getting professional looking results with a basic camera.

·     Buying the camera that best fits your needs and photographic interest.

This Class will run 4 nights, for 1½ hours per day.

Class starts at 6:00 each evening and will end around 7:30.  Our evenings out on the road to shoot will be meeting at locations to be announced during class.
