Intro to Photography: How to Make Better Pictures
The class is for anyone (beginner or experienced) who wants to learn to make better photographs with your digital camera. We will cover the essentials of good photography, including your camera’s controls, the principles of good composition and how and why to stop using automatic (and when to use it) and how to use shutter speed and aperture to craft your pictures. It includes indoor classroom sessions and at least two outdoor photoshoots (weather permitting). We’ll cover different types of photography, including landscape, nature, family, travel and more. In addition, we will cover the basics of how to edit your pictures on your computer. Plan to take lots of pictures. Classes will include weekly photo assignments and helpful review sessions.
What You’ll Need
Any camera is fine, but you’ll get the most out of the class with a camera with manual controls. You will also need a computer and the ability to upload pictures.
