Intro to Digital Photography Workshop

General Course Information:

This one day photography workshop is geared toward beginners with little to no experience and those who have used a camera but never really taken lessons. Our instructors will keep it simple and concentrate on the foundations of learning photography. Like most of our Photography workshops and classes, we will use a combination of lecture, demonstrations and hands on Practice to help you develop a group of basic photographic skills that will help you improve you photos.

Course Topics Include:

Section A:
Photographic composition and Critiquing photos.

Section B:
The basics of exposure including: ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture (f-Stop), Exposure Compensation, Automatic and Semiautomatic Exposure Modes. How to avoid blurry photos due to camera shake and subject movement.

Section C:
How to tell if your exposure is good and how to correct it if the photo is too dark or too light.

Section D: 
Simple Auto Focus settings to improve your images.

Section E:
Getting started with Flash photography. Are you one of the many amateur photographers who is afraid of using a flash because, "It never works?". We can't teach you everything in a day but we will show you the basics of flash photography.

Section G:
Questions and answers about anything photographic, including topics not covered in this workshop. Students are also encouraged to ask question throughout the workshop.

Course Requirements:
