PHOTOskill - Camera Operation Beginner Workshop

Your camera can do much more than you think! It can render the world as you see it or be a tool that helps you unlock entire dimensions of untapped creativity. No matter what your goals with photography, you're going to need to know all of the features that your little friend has, how it 'thinks', and how to work with its capabilities (and limitations) to create or capture your vision.

Simply speaking, I want to show you the road that (with practice) will get you working with your camera as if it were a natural extension of yourself.

The specifics of what we'll cover in this workshop are:
-How does your camera 'know' how to take a picture?
-How does your camera get it wrong?
-What is metering?
-Exposure factors (aperture, shutter and ISO)
-White Balance
-Shooting Modes (M, Av, Tv, C1, C2, C3) and when to use them
-Auto Focus Modes and when to use them

These are the factors of photography that are common to all SLR cameras, no matter the brand. I've limited the group size to 12 participants so that there will be time enough for in-depth hands-on demonstration for everyone in the group. If you're a beginner this is the absolute best place to start! Even if you've been shooting for a while or taken a break from photography, this is a great refresher to fill in potential gaps in your knowledge base in a fun and engaging way.
