Foundations in DSLR Photography Workshop Series
The Foundations series was developed with a simple goal in mind: To free the aspiring photographer from reliance on the automatic exposure mode. The camera’s automatic exposure mode is fine for snapshots and sometimes OK for postcards. It is, however, rarely useful to the creative photographer, who uses ISO, aperture and shutter speed like a painter uses paint and brushes. At the conclusion of the series, you will have the knowledge and skill to use your camera’s advanced features and take your own photography to a new level of creativity!
Adventures in DSLR Photography Workshop Series
The Adventures series was developed for intermediate and advanced level students who have mastered the fundamentals of photography and are ready to conquer the various specialty areas of photography. Classroom instruction builds on content covered in the Foundations series. The amount of workshop time devoted to the classroom varies considerably depending upon the topic. See the individual course descriptions for more information.
