Digital Camera Class

Hands-on camera workshop:

This workshop is for you if:

• You have a new camera and find yourself lost in the settings

• You're just getting started with your photography practice

• You're a seasoned photographer whose camera-handling skills have gotten a little rusty

There's nothing more frustrating to a photographer than finding a great photo opportunity but not being able to make the camera capture what the eye sees. The first step out of that frustration is understanding your camera's systems and how they work together. In our Digital Camera Class, we'll talk about whitebalance, shutter, aperture and ISO and how they interact. We'll talk about how to use your camera's autofocus feature to your advantage. We'll include time for hands-on practice, so you'll be able to see how changing one setting influences the others - and what the results of that might be. Digital cameras are complex and can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be that way. We can help.

 

What we'll look at:

• How to set whitebalance to make people less orange, or less blue

• How to use your camera's shutter to prevent blurry photos

• How to use your lens's aperture to make the background soft and fuzzy

• How to use your ISO setting for a perfect exposure

• How to use your autofocus function to your advantage
