WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
In our live online Photo 101 course, you’ll develop essential photography skills and learn how to make more confident creative and technical decisions. The course covers:
- Camera Settings: Learn the vital controls of your camera, including setup for focus, color, and image quality to ensure every shot is your best shot.
- Exposure Control: The camera can sometimes make photos too bright or dark. We will show you the easy method to get the exposure you want.
- Shutter Speed & Motion Effects: Freezing and blurring subjects in motion for those 'frozen in time' moments of fast moving action, or creative blur to make the subject motion part of the story.
- Depth of Field: Get that creamy, out of focus background for portraiture, or razor sharp 'infinity' focus for landscape shots.
- Lens & Perspective Choices: Know how to select the right lens for the task at hand.
- Composition Essentials: Apply composition tips and techniques that make your photos visually compelling.
- Photo Editing: We’ll show you how to improve your photos using Adobe Lightroom through a live demonstration.
- Much more: There are many additional topics covered in the course to give you confidence and control over the results.

Practice Between Classes and Build Your Confidence.
Light weekly photography assignments help reinforce what you've learned and encourage you to put new skills into practice. You'll also have access to our shared Flickr group, where assignment results can be reviewed and students can learn from one another's work.
