Troubleshooting and Feedback
Homework Offered
A project assignment between class 1 and 2 is designed to encourage discovery, experimentation, and exploration through practice with the camera. The following class, each student will turn in their work to share and discuss their experience and any questions around the assignment. They will also share positive feedback with each other as a way to practice the language around the new terms and concepts. Small class sizes ensure plenty of 1:1 support and discussion of each student's work.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Assessment is informal and growth-centered. Learner progress is evaluated through review and discussion of their images using manual photography technique and the terms/ideas from class. Assessment is always done for the purpose of clarification and refinement moving forward (rather than memorization or correction).
Grades Offered
The focus of this class is on exploration and discovery through experimenting with the various skills and techniques. Class is not usually graded, but I can offer a grade if needed for your schooling system based on effort and participation upon request, simply message me before the end of class.
All learners will need:

#1 A DSLR camera and lens, or other camera with a manual exposure mode to adjust the settings for aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. (Make sure you have a memory card and battery + charger, too!)

#2 The means to upload the photos to a computer, tablet, or cellphone with an internet connection and web browser. For example, with a cable for the camera or a memory card reader. Please make sure your learner can upload photos to the device prior to class, so they are ready to complete your projects and focus on learning how to use their camera. 


If you are unsure if your camera has a manual exposure mode, you can check the camera instruction manual, or feel free to message me! A film SLR camera could also be used, but the photos must be scanned to digital files, and with developing time learners would have less time to complete the projects each week.

Many introductory DSLR cameras are available for relatively low cost used or new. 

Examples: 
- Nikon D3400 or D3500
- Nikon D5500 or D5600
- Nikon D7000, D7100, D7200, D7500 
- Canon Rebel T8i / 350D
- Canon Rebel T7 / 2000D 
- Canon Rebel T6 / 1300D
- Canon Rebel SL3 / 250D
- Canon Rebel T100v/ 4000D (Canon camera with lowest recommended retail price)

A few old edition options that are still great to get started with learning manual mode on a budget: 
- Nikon D3000, D3100, D3200, D3300 (old versions of D3500)
- Nikon D5000, D5100, D5200, D5300 (old versions of D5600)
- Nikon D70s, D70, D80, D90 (old versions of D7000)
- Nikon D40, D40x, D50, D60 (old versions of D3000 and D5000 series) 
- any older Canon Rebel
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Some photographers and/or photo theorists who we learn about may have photography work or analysis that involves nudity and themes of sexuality, much like you might encounter in an exhibit at an art museum or in fashion photography. We will not explore these in class, but there is the possibility that students come upon them during further research.
