Express is a 1/2 day workshop that is a Photography 101 “crash course” providing hands-on instruction on the fundamentals of camera, exposure and composition. Students photograph a variety of subjects in and around the museum, including Landscapes and Architecture. This class is for people of all ages with little or no experience in photography, or for those seeking a refresher on the basics.

You will be instructed on:
– Camera Lens Basics
– Automatic vs Manual Shooting Modes
– Color Temperature (White Balance
– Focus and Depth of Field
– Light and Exposure
– Composition and Content

Prerequisite: There are no prerequisites for this workshop. However, since all camera models have different control layouts, students are expected to know how to find and adjust three exposure settings in their camera; Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. While a DSLR camera is preferred, any digital camera capable of manual control of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO will work. Students with cameras that have no way to control these three exposure settings (i.e.: point-and-shoot cameras) will not get the full benefit of the workshop. A tripod is also strongly recommended.
