Digital Photography Essentials Workshop for Canon Photographers
Mary Louise Ravese, Bella Vista Photography
Wednesdays, January 12, 19, and 26, 2022 – 6:30 pm–8:30 pm
Register RegisterThis beginner class is for people with a Canon digital camera who are interested in learning how to successfully use their camera beyond automatic/program modes. The class concentrates on the five essential camera settings that have the most impact on the look of a photograph: focal length, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balance. We also discuss how to interpret the image histogram, a camera feedback mechanism, and use that information to adjust and optimize image exposure for the next shot. Students learn how to adjust these settings using their own camera. The features and concepts discussed are relevant to all digital cameras including many point-and-shoot cameras, mirrorless cameras and all digital SLR cameras.
This class is limited to only Canon camera users to make it easier to address participant questions in this online class format.
We will setup a private, password protected Zoom video conferencing meeting for the class and will e-mail you details regarding how to join. You need an Internet connected computer/laptop with integrated/connected webcam, microphone, and speakers to participate. There is no additional software cost to you to participate in the private video conference we setup for our session. The video conferencing platform is easy to use and key features will be explained in a complementary orientation briefing that last just a few minutes at the beginning of class.
Class Resources
Recordings of each class will be made available to class participants as private YouTube shares. Additionally, participants receive PDF copies of each presentation, handouts, home practice exercises, and a quick reference sheet.
