Participants will learn:
- How light, exposure, depth of field, composition, angle of view, timing, and motion combine to create a fantastic photograph. 
- How to better use the features of a digital or phone camera. 
- How to use elements of composition such as angles, lighting, depth of field, leading lines, and the rule of thirds to capture compelling photographs. 
- How to take photos of people, animals, nature, still scenes, and action.

I have been a professional teacher for nearly twenty years and an amateur photographer for nearly thirty years.
