Why a digital camera when my phone takes good pictures? The adjustability, lenses and lighting possibilities of a digital camera mean you don’t just “take a photo”, you can create stunning images from your mind’s eye. Digital cameras have brought back the fun of photography for many of us. Switch your digital camera off “AUTO” and learn to capture the pictures in your imagination. Unleash your creativity while learning to master the fantastic new world of digital photography. This class will help you to better understand which functions, buttons and settings on your camera to use to create better photographs! You’ll explore how aperture (AV) and shutter speed (TV) are the heart of creative control. Discover the importance of white balance, exposure compensation, daylight flash, and focus contribute to the total image.
Please show up with your camera ready to go: battery charged, memory card in and camera manual in tow. Most of all, prepare to have fun.
