This course is great for people who have recently bought a camera and want some help discovering what it can do.
Everyone has a camera, but do you know how to use all of its capabilities? Learn the basics of photography!
During this course we will help you get to grips with controlling your shutter speed and aperture as well as an understanding of how ISO, white balance and RAW shooting impact your images. Alongside learning how to use your digital camera, we will look at darkroom photograms, digital scanning, basic editing in Adobe Photoshop (black and white editing, RAW processing), sorting and filing digital images and post production options for your photos.
Please note: You will need a digital camera with manual settings to participate in this class.
Introduction to Photography classes are taught by Harry Simperingham.
