This comprehensive class is designed to equip you with the essential skills and knowledge of digital photography. Through engaging PowerPoint presentations delivered over Zoom (Usually the day before we meet), we will demystify the complexities of photography and help you grasp key concepts.

The course covers various topics, including an in-depth exploration of your camera’s fundamental aspects. You will learn about shooting in manual mode, aperture priority, shutter priority, and program modes. We will also discuss basic file types such as RAW and JPEG, explaining when and why each should be used.

 

Our small class size, limited to 12 participants, ensures personalized attention and hands-on instruction. You will learn how to set up and operate your camera effectively, followed by practical shooting sessions at various locations. We believe that hands-on experience is invaluable for mastering photography.

In addition to the basics, we will introduce you to the concept of exposure and teach you how to read and use your histogram effectively. You will also learn about metadata and how to interpret it to improve your images.

Composition is key to great photography, so we will delve into important design aspects and rules to enhance your image composition skills.

We will go over the options available for your camera’s lenses. We will assist you in choosing the ideal lens for your camera by presenting various types, such as wide-angle, normal, telephoto, and ultra-wide lenses.

To reinforce your learning, we have prepared assignments covering portraits, close-ups, motion blur images, and landscape photography. We will be there to assist you in capturing stunning photos that showcase your newfound skills.

Feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information? Don’t worry! We provide comprehensive notes summarizing the class content for your reference. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us.

Remember, practice makes perfect. The best way to improve your photography is to keep practicing. Join us for one of our workshops, and let’s embark on this exciting journey of photographic exploration together!

      Roger just had surgery yesterday. Everything went well. We are probably going to schedule some workshops before the weeks ends. I think late June or early July will be when we start again.
