Learn the basic concepts of photography and how to use your camera. To get the most out of this class, bring a digital camera that allows you to set manual setting like f-stop, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. Topics covered include how to use the features and functions of your camera like aperture (f-stop), shutter speed, and ISO together to determine exposure. We will also discuss how using white balance effects the cameras processing settings on color and how using your histogram and bracketing exposures work with light in the basic composition. Students will need to bring their own DSLR or Mirrorless Camera to class. Ages 13+. Enrollment deadline 04/02.

There are four classroom meetings on Tuesdays and there will be three optional field trips held on Saturdays to practice what we cover in class. The exact times of the field trips will be discussed in the first class.

Classroom dates (Wednesdays): April 3, 10, 17, & 24
Field Trips dates (Saturdays): The exact times of the field trips will be discussed in the first class.
