Session 1 (3 hours)

1. Introduction to Basic Digital Camera Settings and Menus:

• Understanding different camera modes (Auto, Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Manual).
• Explaining menu settings and their functions.

2. Introduction to Exposure:

• Overview of exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, ISO).
• Understanding Auto and Semi-Auto exposure modes.

3. Basic Composition Rules:

• Explaining the Rule of Thirds and how it impacts composition.
• Exploring the concept of Simplicity in composition.

Field Trip:

• Visit a nearby park or location to practice camera settings, exposure modes, and composition rules under the instructor’s guidance. Students will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained during the session.

Session 2 (3 hours)

1. Shutter and Aperture Functionality:

• Detailed explanation of shutter speed and its impact on photography.
• Understanding aperture and its effects on depth of field.

2. Real-Life Examples and Application:

• Using real-life scenarios and examples to demonstrate the effects of different shutter speeds and apertures.

3. Additional Composition Rules:

• Exploring Framing and Balance in Photography.

Field Trip:
