Digital Photography Essentials Workshop 

This introductory class is for people with a digital SLR camera who are interested in learning how to successfully use their camera beyond automatic/program modes. The class concentrates on the 5 most essential camera settings that have the most impact on the look of a photograph: focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance. We also discuss how to interpret the image histogram, a camera feedback mechanism, and use that information to adjust and optimize image exposure for the next shot. Students learn how to adjust these settings using their own camera and do some quick practice exercises to reinforce what they've learned.

This afternoon session is like the "executive summary" version of our 2 day Introduction to Digital Photography weekend immersion workshop. For those with limited time, or those who want to learn at a more relaxed pace, this is a helpful quick start approach and a cheaper option than covering this material as a private lesson.

In addition to classroom learning, participants will have the opportunity to practice what they've learned by conducing photography experiments indoors.

The features and concepts discussed are relevant to all digital cameras including many point-and-shoot cameras and all digital SLR cameras.
