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. Equipment Recommendations This post contains affiliate links.
