C-D 004 PHOTO SATURDAY

This one-day, three hour class is for those of you that want to get outdoors and photograph with an experienced outdoor photographer who will personally tutor you when you have questions.

Or, you may want to know how to use your particular camera, how to expose for that tough back-lit subject, which lens to use for the proper perspective, when to use a tripod, how to use those "A", "S", "Program", or "Auto" modes. You may be using film or digital. There is no performance anxiety in this class. You are there to have a good time, make great photos and improve your ability to see and capture that photograph. 35mm to 8 X 10, digital to pyrogallic. Sign up for one or all. Shooting destination will be announced at the beginning of the sessions depending on the light and weather.
