This four-week course will help you understand your digital camera and improve your photography skills. It is designed for people who enjoy photography and want to improve their understanding and skills. You’ll learn how to use your camera to create more interesting photographs. Course topics include: composition techniques; creating more engaging photographs; digital camera operation; understanding your camera’s features and settings; the exposure triangle; working with aperture, shutter speed and ISO; post-processing and enhancing your photos for greater impact. Each week you will be asked to send the instructor a photo, based on a theme, that will be shared with the class the following week. The class is designed for people who use cameras with adjustable controls, not phone cameras. To prepare, review your camera’s manual before the first class. You may need to download it from the camera manufacturer’s website. Familiarizing yourself with your camera’s basic controls and menu system will help you get the most from this course.
