Registration for the Digital Photography Fundamentals course is in full swing! This popular class, open to club members and non-members alike, is offered only once each season. Don’t be left out!
Explore the fundamental elements of photography: perspective, light, and exposure. Learn how to construct powerful images that clearly communicate your point of view.
If you recently became interested in photography, Introduction to Digital Photography will help you select and operate digital cameras (from smartphones to advanced, interchangeable-lens wonders). You’ll discover that only a few menu selections are necessary and performed only once in your camera’s life, freeing you to be your most creative while enjoying the image-making experience.
If you are an experienced photographer, Mastering Your Technique is for you. You will learn the advantages of PASM, how to use reflectors and flags, the Histogram, effective Monochrome Conversion, and much more.
Class notes, Field and Studio workshops are all included. Classes begin in January. For additional information or to register, visit our club’s website, www.sunlakescameraclub.com, or contact Dan Dragoon at [email protected].
