Be The Media! Workshop with Olivia Robinson: Digital Photography – Going off Automatic
February 11, 2007 @ 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm EST
Want to know more about your digital camera? This hands-on workshop is for individuals who want to learn more about the advanced features on their digital still camera, and go off automatic. The workshop will cover using different camera modes, experimenting with exposure levels and f-stops, getting the most out of diverse lighting conditions, using the flash and basic rules of thumb for photo compositions. The workshop will be practice oriented, allowing you to learn new ideas and try them immediately. Each participant should bring a digital camera to learn about and use in class.
