Beginner’s Camera Class, June 15, 2015  6-8pm  Cost: $70/person  Limited to 10 moms.  Rain make-up date: June 19, 2015, 6-8pm  Location: TBD in central Raleigh, outdoors

This two-hour workshop will be a hands-on class where you will literally be practicing different camera settings in manual mode in different outdoor light situations.  The first 30-45 minutes will be going over the basics and taking a closer look at your camera.  Then I will work one-one to help you adjust and correct settings as you shoot (models will be provided!).  I will also be setting up a private FB group where students can learn and grow together after the class is over!

This class will teach you:

Basic camera functions to get you off of auto mode, and why you should be shooting in manual (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, reading your meter)

Shooting in different light and how to get the best results in each situation

Focus, and how to use your lens

Composition, how to set up your shot

This class will not teach you:

Anything about professional photography

Post processing (editing)

Posing

Required materials:

A camera.  A DSLR or other camera that has manual mode is suggested.

A notebook, pen, your camera manual, and blanket

Workshop cost: $70/person – Due in full at booking to hold your spot.  Non-refundable unless your spot is filled with another mom.  1-1 mentoring is also available in your home to find light and practice shooting in manual with your little ones, 2-hours $200.

Disclaimer: I have been shooting in manual mode since I was 15 using a film camera.  A two-hour class is a basic introduction to getting to know your camera better, but will not turn you into a master overnight.  It takes a lot of practice and time to get comfortable using you camera in different lighting situations :):)
