Do you have a nice DSLR camera that you have no idea how to get off Auto?? Not happy with your sometimes in focus, dark photos? This class is for you!! This photography class is designed for moms (and dads) that have a desire to take their every day photos up a notch or two! I will go over the purpose of the bells and whistles of your camera(without the technical jargon!!), how and when to use them, and share some tips and tricks on composition to make your everyday photos a little more special!
A take home pamphlet will be provided. The classes will be small and personal so that we can touch base on your specific needs and questions. I don’t claim to know everything about every camera (in fact, I have never owned anything but a Canon) but I will try to sort out any questions you may have!
COST: $100 per person (due up front to hold your spot)
LOCATION: The studio 1304 Rostraver Road in Belle Vernon (30 miles south of Pittsburgh)
TOPICS THAT WILL BE COVERED:
Basics of your camera and how to use them (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focal points, etc.)
Why there is a love/hate relationship with flash
Tips of how to buy lenses and what different lenses would be used for
Finding the light, a lesson in how to place your subject so that you get a great shot!
The benefits of great composition
Some outdoor and indoor shooting with Q&A!!
Some general questions answered!
Who is this class for?? Someone who would like to learn the basics of their camera and take better everyday photos! Since I am primarily a baby and children’s photographer, I can speak best about that!
What do I need? A camera, lens, camera manual, something to write on!
How do I keep up with the dates of the classes will be offered? Follow us here and on Facebook! If there is enough interest, there will be two offered per month! When the weather breaks, there will be one in the weekday evenings and one on a weekend!
THE FIRST TWO SCHEDULED ARE:
Saturday, March 1st 10am til 12:30pm
Saturday March 22nd 11:30am til 1pm
How many people are there per class? To kick this off, I am taking 4 people per class at first so I can be sure to address everyone’s questions, and make sure everyone gets what they need out of the class!
Who this class is NOT for:
**Someone who is already shooting off of Auto and is happy with the results. This class is more of a basic lesson and I don’t think that you would get much out of it!
*Someone that either has aspirations to be a photographer or has shot for friends or family before. Again, this is a very basic lesson and if you are shooting for others, hopefully you have already mastered the basics! 🙂
