How Do I Use My Camera? (Part 1 - Beginner Photography)

In this beginner photography class you will spend three hours learning an extraordinarily intuitive way of using your camera. No memorization or note taking is allowed. Rather than learning through cramming a lot of information into your head and trying to regurgitate it later, you’ll learn through doing the exercises and through JP’s approachable and engaging teaching style.

Most beginner photographers spend a lot of time staring at their cameras wondering what all the buttons and dials do. JP will demystify your camera for you so that you’re no longer staring down at your camera but, instead, you’ll be able to focus much more on the world around you so that you can really capture those magical once-in-a-lifetime moments.

JP will cover topics like exposure (which will explain why none of your sunset pictures ever come out the way you want them to), aperture (so you can get a blurry background whenever you want it) and shutter speed (so that you can create some amazing motion blur shots that will look spectacular).

Prerequisite: None

This class requires that you have a digital camera that allows you to manually set the aperture and shutter speed.
