In this 6-week DSLR photography summer camp (meeting twice per week), we will learn how to use any camera with "manual mode" to its full potential! We will learn about shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, and how they work together to create amazing images. Once we have covered the basics of operating our cameras, we will have fun exploring composition and some of the most popular types of photography! We will learn about the elements and principles of composition and how they work together to create amazing images. We will also practice using constructive criticism to analyze each other's work.

This class is aimed at beginner photographers, no prior knowledge or experience necessary. I do recommend exploring your camera with your learner prior to our first class, to find out how these settings are controlled in their particular camera model.

There will be a printout available after each class summarizing all discussed techniques to help them during their photoshoots.
