Intro to Photography Workshop

Digital SLR Photography Basics

Do you own a digital SLR camera? Would you like to learn how to use your camera’s full potential and take better photos? This workshop will teach you how to get out of automatic mode and learn the basics of shooting with a digital SLR, including how to use different shutter speeds, apertures and ISOs; what different shooting modes mean; and what all those damn buttons do! You will also learn about composition, focus, depth of field, and framing, before putting your new skills to the test on a field trip.

Participants must have their own digital SLR camera, or a point-and-shoot digital camera with manual shooting modes.
