Photography 102: Learning Your Camera

Do you know what an F-stop is? How about exposure times? This hands-on class is designed for students who understand the basics of photo composition, color, and light and now want to learn more! We'll be discussing the technical side of photography, learning how to get off auto mode and master shooting manually. We'll practice changing your camera's aperture, ISO, and shutter speed so that you'll to be able to truly control the photos you capture.

Each week we'll learn and practice a new topic, with a related photo assignment given out at the end of class. We'll also review and discuss the photos captured, learning from each other and collaborating to improve together.
