Manual Photography Artistic Challenge
Dates: Tuesdays, March 2, 9, 16
Time: 4:00 – 4:40 pm
Registration deadline: Monday, March 1 @ 12pm
Using your basic skills in manual mode, challenge yourself to expand your creative photography horizons! Through exploration, curiosity, trial and error, and tackling diverse subjects, you’ll propel yourself to a new level.
Via Zoom, you’ll receive guidance and individual attention while taking on a variety of assignments using manual mode on your DSLR camera. We’ll briefly review the basics on shutter speed, aperture and ISO functions, and examine general compositional elements and lighting. We’ll set up parameters for a new creative photography assignment each week to help create a sense of accountability, and in-class meetings we’ll share our discoveries and our successes. Prepare to share!
You’ll come away with an increased knowledge of manual mode shooting, and you’ll begin to create a body of artful photographic works.
A DSLR camera, charged battery and SD card, and basic knowledge of the manual mode functions on your camera is required.
Format: Live Zoom for three consecutive weeks, 40-60 minutes per session. Please plan to participate in both the video and audio aspects of Zoom at all class meetings.
