Understanding Camera Setting (Ages 16+)

Evanston Art Center @ 1717 Central St, Evanston, IL

Camera settings can be very intimidating, but there are shortcuts for the most important settings which can greatly improve your photography by several levels. Take control of your images, and learn how and when to use these settings, intuitively.

    I was incredibly surprised by how much information I walked away with after only 90 minutes. You could tell that Nick really cared about the class & was adamant about us taking something away from it. His passion for photography was apparent which made the class very enjoyable. There were multiple times my friend & I looked at each-other and laughed because something we had been trying to learn on our own finally clicked. I'm definitely debating taking the full 7-week session & have told all my friends they should check it out.

    Nick Sinnott is a wonderful teacher and anyone that takes even the trail course will benefit (if they're a beginner). The facilities are nice and are conducive to learning. I highly recommend doing the trial if you want to find a good photography class. My husband and I both have signed up for the course.
