If you are using a digital camera for taking photographs in the “auto mode,” wondering what all the other dials and selections are for and how to use them, this class is for you. Take your photographic skills to the next level! You will learn the use of the shutter speed, aperture settings, and what ISO is all about, and how they work together to produce a great photo. What the camera does when you select landscape, sports, night, portrait and A, P or S choices will be reviewed, and how to use them effectively. If you have a DSLR or mirrorless camera, please bring it to class along with your lenses but cameras are not necessary to participate.
