Current and Upcoming Class Descriptions
New in 2025
Basic Photography
This class is being developed with those new to photography in mind. Those with more experience may also benefit from the classes. At the end of the classes, you should be able to identify intent and know how to use your equipment to achieve your goal.
Classes will be held once a month online via zoom. Homework will be assigned. Photography requires practice to master the skills necessary to have fun and produce images you are proud of. The first of each class will be dedicated to reviewing your homework and answering questions about prior lessons.
The structure is:
Class 1 – Introduction to the class and photography
Classes 2 and 3 – The Capture Process
Class 4 – Workflow and Processing
Classes 5 and 6 – Composition
Classes 7 – Tips and Tricks
Classes 8 – 10 – To be determined based on what we learn
Know Your Camera
Bring your camera and ask that question you have had about it.
