It’s so much fun to take a great photo! It freezes a moment in time and can capture emotion, story and memories all in a single frame. Unfortunately there are times when our camera doesn’t capture what we were hoping for, and often times the moment is lost. When you understand how your camera works and what choices can be made to get the results you’re after, photography once again becomes both fun and rewarding.
Part of the problem is that cameras don’t see the world the way our eyes do. Join us in this three-part series of classes to unlock the mysteries of digital photography and learn how to help your camera to produce the beautiful photos you are after.
Join professional photographer Joe Brady as he takes you through all of the things you need to know to capture and create beautiful images. When you better understand how your camera works, you can consistently get better results. For many aspiring photographers, the camera is in the way of them getting those great results. Join Joe for these three classes and follow the path to making your camera a partner and friend when making your photos.
There’s a lot to cover, but we’ll break it down into manageable, bite-sized sections. Here’s a breakdown of the topics we’ll cover over the three classes. We will keep things flexible and allow a certain amount of time to venture into the specific needs of the participants.
