Program – Camera Basics
Visitors are welcome to attend this free event.
Overview
Are you tired of blurry shots? Are your pictures too bright or too dark? What should you do to get a soft, blurred background like the pros do when taking a portrait? This program will include how to freeze the action, manipulate depth of field, and other creative camera settings. If you want to learn about special modes your camera has to help you so you don’t miss “the shot,” come check out this program to learn about shutter and aperture priority and how to set auto ISO so you can focus on composing your photograph. Don’t forget to bring your camera so we can explore together.
