Photography Basics

2024 Course Description

This year’s course will use example photos to teach some of the main concepts of photography.

We’ll consider both the technical and creative facets that go into creating a photo.

Some of the technical aspects we’ll focus on are:

  • Shutter speed
  • Aperture
  • ISO

And, some of the creative items we’ll explore are:

  • Composition
  • In-focus vs. blur
  • Static vs. motion
  • Color vs. B&W

We’ll explain how shutter speed and aperture affect the creative aspects.

Throughout the examples we’ll use post-processing tools (mainly Lightroom and Photoshop) to demonstrate the concepts such that you should be able to apply to any other software application.

What kind of camera is required… any, including the quite capable cameras we all have on our mobile phones.

Open to members and non-members but registration is required.
