This Digital Photography II class is designed to deepen your understanding and ease of use of the manual functions of your camera.
Automatic settings on cameras can be convenient but can also frustrate photographers. Manual control of a camera assures proper exposure and consistent results. An understanding of Aperture (f/stops), Shutter Speed, ISO, lenses, and light control all contribute to the success of each and every photograph you make. Your camera is a tool built to be controlled, not a gadget with a mind of its own. This class is the key to open up all possibilities in your current and future photography.
If you have taken our Basic Digital Photography class, this is the next step class for you. If you have not attended a Basic Digital Photography class but have a good basic understanding of your camera and how to use the basic functions, you are welcome to attend. Please email us with any questions and we would be happy to help.
