Photography Basics - Make Your Camera Work for You!

$99

with George Blumenschein, Sr.

Calendar Oct 30, 2024 at 6 pm, runs for 5 weeks

By focusing first on what you see and then on how to capture your own vision of what’s before you, you’ll be well on the road to making your camera and all its features work for you.  It’s easier  than you might think, if you’re ready to explore how you see what’s around you!

The class is a combination of evening class sessions, field trips and work on your own between sessions.  Key to your success will be making time between sessions to put into practice what you have learned.  You don’t need a fancy camera for this course, whatever device you have on hand will be just right. 

This course is designed for people experienced in taking photos, with a knowledge of the features of their camera and the ability to share their photos. This is an in-person class.

Makeup class, if needed, 12/04/2024.
