Session 1 (February 5 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm):
Introduction to photography, how digital cameras work, digital photography workflow basics, auto focus versus manual focus, digital image optimization.
These may sound very basic, but there are lots of small details which can change your photography workflow and make you ready to take your photography experience to the next level. Details like Shutter speed, aperture value, focusing techniques etc..
Session 2 (February 12 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm) :
ISO, Understanding camera setting modes and exposure controls, intro to using the Histogram.
Basically your photo has to be exposed correctly. This a solid rule. Now the question becomes: how do I set the correct exposure? Your camera is an electronic device, and does not have a brain. It cannot take into consideration things like mood and overall effect, and cannot predict the look you are going for. In this session, you will learn how to set your camera to different creative modes, why you might use one mode over the other, how to set your ISO or when to use Auto ISO, exposure compensation, and learning Histogram jargon!
Session 3 (February 19 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm):
Metering methods, reading a Histogram, using manual mode, White Balance.
“Why does my camera take poor quality pictures in bright daylight? “This is one of the most asked questions. In this class you will understand the differences between different metering modes, learn how to judge the exposure by looking at the Histogram, and most importantly, understand White Balance and how it can affect your images in a huge way.
Session 4 (February 26 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm):
Creative uses for aperture and shutter, depth of field and motion. Selective focus/shallow depth of field workshop.
We can shoot as fast as 1/4000s (in some cameras even faster) or as slow as 30″ ( in the Bulb setting, we can expose as long as we wish!). There is wide open aperture and small opening aperture and some numbers in between. What are the uses for them? This is the purpose behind this class: to discuss the creativity of these settings and ways in which you can achieve a creative result.
Session 5 (March 5 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm):
Composition guidelines
Rule of thirds, texture, color, point of view and seeing in shapes and forms, and Macro Photography guide lines. This session is all about the Art of photography. If you are interested in technology and love arts, come for this session as we are going to talk about arts and art in photography.
