Part 1: Aspects of photography directly related to the  APERTURE and DOF.

Part 2: Aspects of photography directly related to the SHUTTER and MOTION.

Capturing great images requires an understanding of your camera. This is more than simply setting the camera to the AUTO MODE, it means acquiring an understanding of the SAFE method of photography:

  • Shutter speed (Stop or Show Motion)
  • Aperture (Depth of Field)
  • Focus (Manual vs. Auto)
  • Exposure (Based on aperture/shutter speed/ISO)

Great photos result from combining knowledge of your camera with a fresh approach to a familiar subject.

During this workshop we will cover the following:

  • Manual Mode
  • Shutter Priority
  • Aperture Priority
  • Manual Focus
  • ISO
  • Lens Selection
  • Working With Flash
