Photography Class Initial Launch!

Class is in Session!!!

Our first photography class for adults kicked off on March 4th! The six attendees really brought their A-game, engaging in conversations with each other and myself about everything from lenses and camera settings to equipment ideas for recording videos. The great thing about it was there wasn't any pressure to get to a finishing point... we're just going to pick up where we left off next time! More details below...

Videos

Here's a quick 5-minute YouTube video I did a while back about adjusting exposure (using shutter speed, aperture and ISO) on a camera. It's a good summary of the basics when it comes to manual settings.

Gimbals
DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo - https://amzn.to/43cmJOD - This all-in one gimbal and camera may be small enough to fit in your pocket, but it's capable of producing high quality content! The combo includes a mic, battery handle and wide angle lens adapter in a soft case.

DJI Osmo Mobile 6 - https://amzn.to/3Ph34qZ - The Osmo Mobile 6 is a great option for those wanting to use a phone to create video content with smooth movements. It also has a telescoping arm to help you get interesting angles!

Cameras
Canon EOS R50 Content Creator Kit ($799*) - https://amzn.to/3wUokMK - If you're looking for a small camera with good photo and video quality, this could be a winner! The R50 is a light-weight mirrorless camera with a quick autofocus. A hotshoe mic, tabletop tripod and remote are included in the creator kit. You can find just the camera with 18-45mm lens here (https://amzn.to/3IvWXeA)
*The kit retails for $999, but it's 20% off at the time of this post. 

Monopods
Neewer Monopod with Feet - https://amzn.to/4a3f3jS
Manfrotto Monopod with Feet - https://amzn.to/49HDbJ2
The two monopods listed above are great for both videos and long photo sessions using heavy lenses! The Neewer is the cost effective option, while the more expensive Manfrotto is a sturdier build and should last you longer.
