DSLR Crash Course

A fast paced three hour workshop. Join us at the Light Factory for a fun and informative crash course to help you improve your photography! We'll have a 45 minute lecture and discuss how lighting, composition, and lens choice affects your image, as well as a hands on session that will demystify f/stops, shutter speed and ISO. We’ll share some tips and tricks on how to implement these concepts, and we'll go out with a shot list to get our creative juices flowing for a Photo Safari on funky Central Avenue. Small groups with experienced photographers maximize your learning experience. Get ready to have a great time while learning how to take better pictures - whether your interests lie in better travel photos, family fun, or lean to the artsy side, this is a class that will inspire you to do more than point and shoot.
