Digital Part 2 - Beyond the Basics


Class Description

This class is the perfect follow-up to the one-day Digital Part 1 or for someone who knows what the camera and shooting basics are but needs some assistance putting them into practice.

We will move from the basics to a fuller understanding of your camera and photography. This is a hands on class where concepts will be explained and we will practice shooting in challenging exposure situations, create blur and freeze motion with moving subjects and adjust depth of field for different effects. We will work with the three elements that affect how you capture motion and depth of field and change how an image looks by knowing when and how to adjust them.

We will cover the exposure triangle, depth of field, shutter blur and how to use ISO to your advantage. This class is designed to build on basic concepts and walk away with deeper understanding of your craft so you can focus on your art.
