In this class, you will learn to be in control of your camera (no longer will you need to use auto for taking photos). You will learn about aperture, shutter speed, and ISO and the relationship between them. You will become the master of your camera and no longer must you rely on the manufacturer guessing at what you are trying to accomplish. You will be able to have your topic in focus but blur the background. Or you can have everything in the photo be in sharp focus. When shooting in Auto mode, the camera does not know what you are trying to accomplish. And therefore what you get is left up to chance. So this class will put YOU in control of your camera.

In order to be successful, you must know your camera controls. So study your manual ahead of time and bring it with you to class. You should know how to go to Aperture priority, and then set the aperture that you desire. And you need to know how to adjust the ISO. I will show you lots of examples of my photos and tell you the settings. You will learn about exposure and composition.
