Description:
It’s pretty easy to set your DSLR or Mirrorless camera on Auto and take pictures. But you miss out on many creative choices by letting the camera make all the decisions for you. If you want more out of your camera and photos, this class is for you.
- Can you control exposure in difficult lighting situations that can fool your camera?
- Can you put your focus exactly where you want it, or does the camera decide?
- Can you make some parts of the picture blurred and some parts sharp?
- Can you show blurred motion when you want to and eliminate blur when you want to?
This class begins with an assignment about using light to your advantage and using creative composition. Next, you will learn how your camera sees things so that you can make it see things the way you want it to. The class is suitable for beginners, but it is not basic. It will give you an in-depth understanding of how cameras work and how to develop your vision as a photographer. You will practice each new concept with assignments and receive feedback from fellow students and your instructor.
