Class Description

Description

ATTENTION: This class will be offered as a HYBRID class, with a limited number of in-person seats available in addition to Live Online Learning. This listing is for registration for our IN-PERSON class.

Crash Course: Camera Basics is an efficient, one-shot introduction to digital photography, and a good place to explore the fundamentals of your camera.  We'll get you up and running quickly, showing you what's up with all the buttons and dials, the different modes available, and how to read your light meter.   You'll learn about basic exposure control, and just become more familiar with your camera in general.


COVID-19 UPDATE:  Using live video demonstrations, guided feedback to exercises, screen-sharing for slides and illustrations, and submitted assignments, we’ll be able to translate the great majority of the content from this class to the online format, and develop exciting new content for the medium as well.  We look forward to the challenge, and we hope you do too!


Who should take this class?

Anyone who would like to quickly improve your familiarity and understanding of your digital camera's basic functions and features.


What to bring?

COVID-19 UPDATE:  No need to “bring” anything, as we’ll be meeting remotely for now.  Make sure your battery is well charged, and that you have adequate space on your memory card!

    Loved it . It was very informative and the teacher answered all of questions!
  • Crash Course: Camera Basics

    Good amount of info, but it really is a crash course. 3 hours is not enough time to practice all of the concepts they discuss. Didn’t love the instructor.. he wasn’t very engaging and when I went up to him after to ask him a question about my camera, he just looked annoyed, and gave me as quick a response to get me out the door. Was a good class for what I paid, but probably won’t be back anytime soon.

    Sally is remarkable in her skills (decade + of photography experience and education), her teaching abilities (excellent slides, examples, real world situations, and practice), and her humor (a bonus). This class was picture perfect.
  • Crash Course: Camera Basics

    The instructor was really good and knowledgeable. But I didn't feel that I really knew my camera THAT much more than I did before. Also the space wasn't great. Too small, hot, and hard to find. I enjoyed the class and will definitely take another one. I was just hoping for more.
  • Crash Course: Camera Basics

    Very thorough and clear intro to using a digital camera. Came away with lots of new approaches to shooting!
  • Crash Course: Camera Basics

    My instructor was awesome!!! Extremely knowledgable and passionate about photography Learned a lot

    Like so many people, I have wanted to get into photography and off of "full auto" mode for so long, but have always found excuses to put it off for another day. This class was exactly the jump start I needed. Even though everything we learned can be summed up on one sheet of paper, the class developed those fundamental concepts very well so that they now feel intuitive. I think achieving the same level of intuition for the things we learned would have taken me twice as long if I had tried to teach myself using books or online sources (and, at the rate I was going, probably spread out over five years!). The class was also very fairly priced. After putting in some practice myself, I definitely plan to enroll in another class with this company.
