Our Digital Camera Fundamentals Photography Class truly is for all levels..  This class is primarily aimed at photographers who have just started using an advanced Digital Camera (DSLR or Mirror-less camera with manual controls and interchangeable lenses) who would like to learn more about their camera and its features and functions. However, it is not only for beginners; experienced photographers attend who learn things they never imagined. They learn how to create better photographs and how to create them in ways that they never fully understood. New photographers need not worry about difficult concepts going over their heads; they will gain an excellent understanding of camera controls. Advanced photographers will get a refresher on the basics and often come away with a new way of thinking about camera setting to achieve a particular style or "look" to their photos.

The two day weekend workshop will go over the most important controls and settings to give you command of your camera and create images with excellent technical quality so you never need to "fix" anything in editing. Emphasis is given to the three main factors by which technical quality is judged - exposure, sharpness and white balance (color). Intermediate and advanced functions and techniques are studied so you can make the proper adjustments to create great photos of landscapes, portraits, candid, action, pets, wildlife or whatever genre you are most interested in. 

Students will also learn how the amazing technology in their camera actually works. This gives you the knowledge and ability to truly understand why you are setting your camera in certain ways and how to make adjustment to make each scene look the best it possible can every time you take a picture. Digital Camera Fundamentals is the recommended prerequisite for any of our intermediate or advanced classes. Once you take this class, you will be ready to take your photography to the next level!
