Intro to Your DSLR Camera - Part 1
*** This is a two-part course - Sat. July 15, 1-4 pm & Sun. July 16, 1-4pm ***
In this course students will learn how to use their DSLR on the manual setting, including understanding metering (including tricky metering), shutter speed, aperture, ISO, White Balance, color space, and lens focal lengths. Students will also learn how to read the histogram on their cameras to better understand how image data is recorded, leading to more control over how an image looks. Students are asked to bring their DSLRs, paper manuals (or link to online manual), and a memory card (8-16GB recommended). In class shooting time with the instructor is included, and reading will be provided with registration.
