SUMMARY:Understanding Manual Exposure Mode-When\, Why\, How to Use It With Ease
DESCRIPTION:Over the past several weeks\, we have been discussing some of the most important and foundational elements of photography. We began with an understanding of what Exposure is and and how to control it. Next we discussed how and why our cameras actually come up with the meter readings they give us\, and how to handle the times it gives us an incorrect reading. We also discussed how to read and understand the camera’s histogram. From there we spent two weeks discussing how to know which settings (aperture\, shutter speeds and ISO) to used for different scenarios and why. We also went through a bunch of those scenarios showing how to use these settings creatively. \nIn this lesson\, we discuss using manual exposure mode – when\, why\, how to use it. We’ll talk about the difference between Aperture Priority\, Shutter Priority\, and shooting in full manual\, and what types of scenes require that you take full control of your camera’s exposure settings. We discuss where the camera’s meter fails\, and will once again reference the histogram and what role it plays in getting correct exposures every time. \nIf you missed any of the previous lessons\, you can still feel to join us! If you struggle with understanding exposure and how to set your camera properly\, then I encourage you to take the guess work out using your camera and gain the knowledge you need to truly understand key camera settings to give you great results every time. You can still watch the recordings of each session. They are only $10 each. Just contact me (use the “contact”and I’ll get you set right up\, so you can catch up with this series!

SUMMARY:Understanding Lenses
DESCRIPTION:Are you confused about all those numbers on your lenses? Or when to use which one? Or\, maybe you’re just getting into photography and you are not sure which lens/lenses will be right for you. Lens choice is probably the most important decision you will make regarding image quality and style-next to the camera body itself. Gaining a strong understanding of lenses could save you a ton of money over time\, helping you minimize your gear by only purchasing what you truly need. \nJoin us this week as we take a deep-dive into all things lenses. We will discuss what all those numbers mean-from the aperture to filter size \, to focal length and more. We will talk about the difference between wide angle\, mid-range and telephoto lenses\, as well as their practical uses. You’ll understand the difference between a “fast” and “slow” lens is-and why it matters. \nOnce we cover the basics\, we will talk about how to use these lenses in a more creative and compelling way. Your lenses are your artistic tool. Learn to use them to their fullest potential!

SUMMARY:Intro To Night Sky Photography
DESCRIPTION:On our next Tuesdays together session\, we will discuss some of the most common things to photograph in the night skies. \nWe’ll talk about moon phases and best practices to get great shots. We will also discuss photographing stars\, star trails and the Milky Way-as the MW Core is now visible again in the early morning sky. \nJoin us as we discuss what gear you will need (you can get started with just about anything)\, when to shoot\, what settings to use\, useful apps for planning and more! \nOnly $10! Don’t miss it! \nIf you are unable to join us on Tuesday night\, you can still register and I’ll send a copy of the recording and any notes created\, so you can go through the info on your own.
