Class Experience

This class my quick summer camp edition of my regular class offering teaching the basics of using his or her digital DSLR camera. This is 2 week, 2 times each week to learn how to use your camera in manual mode, plus other topics (see schedule below) It is highly recommended to have a digital DSLR camera for this class, however, if you have any questions about that don't hesitate to ask! The class will be 50 minutes in length meeting once a week for 4 weeks. A memory card and battery for the...

This class is taught in English.

Students will gain a working knowledge of their digital DSLR camera by learning aperture priority, shutter speed priority, ISO priority and then how to use all those settings in manual, also white balance, framing, and focus will be discussed.

Each week there will be some photo taking homework for the student to do in order to become more comfortable with their camera.

A digital DSLR camera is required, its best if your family or a friend has one you can borrow or if you already have one that is great! They can cost up to $200 or more if you buy used. There are local sellers or online retailers that you could buy a used one from if needed. This will need to be bought or borrowed on your own. 

You will need a memory card- $20-30 at Walmart; buy on your own.

You will need a battery with a charger. The battery and charger should come with the camera. 

You may find it helpful to have the manual for the camera in order to get the most out of your learning. It should also come with your camera. If you don't have though, no worries! Manuals can also be found online and I can help as needed.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

The learner will send in 2-3 photos of their work each week demonstrating how they used the settings. A description with each photo about how they used the photos will need to be attached.

1 hour 40 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.

The cameras can be pricey- so its best to use one you already have in the family or buy a used one from a local seller or online retailer. The young person must be allowed to use the camera to learn and complete the homework. 

The next classes recommended are either Middle School or High School Semester Photography classes, or if its summer, the Photography Camps would be good options.
