This is an online class!
There are so many dials, buttons, and menus on cameras! Which ones do you really need to know? We will explore basic photography principles to help you get creative and be in control of how your pictures look. Some cameras and phones may not have all of the features we will discuss, however the principles we cover will help you to use them to their full potential. This class will meet for two sessions. During each 90 minute class there is time for questions. Afterwards, there is as optional 30 minute session for more individual in-depth help. In the second class, we will look at the photos you have taken following the first class.

Watch this orientation video if you are new to Zoom: https://youtu.be/hIkCmbvAHQQ. You may download and install the Zoom application at any time. We recommend you do this after you enroll in class or at least one day prior to your first online class. Choose the download option that best fits your technology. Unless you will be using an iPad or mobile device, the first option is most likely the one you’ll need.
