This is a five-week
class which will
help you gain a
better understanding
of your camera,
camera settings,
photo composition,
lighting, aperture
setting, and shutter
speed. It is
meant to help you
take control of your
camera, get it off
of “automatic”, and
take better
pictures.
Weekly photographic
assignments will
help participants
understand the
concepts described
in class. Each
class will consist
of time devoted to
photography, camera
settings, and
technology related
to photography as
most photographers
are shooting
digitally these
days. You can
learn personal,
artistic, and
practical uses of
your camera and have
some fun at the same
time. It’s a
great class for
anyone wishing to
learn the basics of
better photography.
Classes run
for five
consecutive weeks
on Tuesdays and are held from
7:00 p.m. - 9:00
p.m.
