This is an extended courses for students who wish to combine the two courses. It covers topics such as the exposure triangle (aperture, shutter speed, and ISO), composition, lighting, and camera settings. Students will learn how to use their cameras, how to take well-exposed and well-composed photos.. They will also learn about the different types of photography such as portrait, landscape, and street photography. This course is designed for those with little or no prior photography experience and will provide a solid foundation. You will also learn fundamentals of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, and how they work together and balance each other to achieve a properly exposed image. You will learn how to adjust each of these functions independently and use your camera’s built-in light meter to properly balance them for an optimal exposure. If you have already taken our Introduction to Photography 101 Workshop, this class is the perfect follow up and will include some review and a lot of new information to get you moving forward in your photographic journey. This is a content rich class, so we recommend bringing a notebook and a pen.
