Workshop Details
The "Fundamentals of Photography" is a basic 2.5 hour workshop on Getting to Know Your Equipment and Taking Better Pictures.
Whether you're using a sophisticated point & shoot camera or a Digital SLR, just trying to take a decent picture or figure out the manual and the incredible list of features these new cameras have is sometimes a daunting task. But, the fundamentals haven't changed since the 'old' film days and if you're interested in learning them or maybe just brushing-up or reacquiring those skills, this workshop is for you.
The Fundamentals workshop is also a great pre-requisite for the many more advanced workshops we offer, as well as providing the basics for travel photography tours and workshops.
The workshop will cover basic manual camera operation, aperture and shutter speeds, depth of field, stop action vs. slow motion, lens choices, exposure and metering, digital formats and storage, basic photography gadgets, composition, framing and boundaries, angle of view, texture, and photography genres.

IMPORTANT: If you want to learn how to use your DSLR camera or you are using a Point & Shoot camera that does not have a manual mode, or is not easily usable in manual mode, or don't understand the convoluted directions that came with the camera, then we recommend that you first take a $25 "Getting To Know Your Camera Workshop - Open House". You bring your camera and manual and we'll help you figure it out.
Here are just a few of the many comments that we have received about the workshops.
The information covered was excellent, clear, and fully understandable. It was presented at the right pace for all to understand and we felt comfortable asking questions. I now feel more confident to use the manual option on my camera. The information handed out was also very good. I thought Scott was an excellent instructor.

The most valuable information I came away with from the workshop was learning to use my camera on its manual settings. I thought the length of the workshop session was perfect. I am anxious to practice what I have learned.

Scott was a very patient instructor. He answered all of our questions and kept going over the information until we understood it. The information given to us in the workshop was presented in an easy to understand manner. I am looking forward to more presentations!
