This class is geared toward DSLR (interchangeable lens) camera owners, or compact camera owners who want to learn more about what their cameras can do. Similar in concept to the Show Me More class, only getting even deeper into topics like White balance, ISO or “film speed”, metering basics, exposure compensation, and focus modes. Add-ons and accessories available for SLRs will be included, as time permits.

This class is for either digital or 35mm users, as long as the camera allows the changing of manual settings. This class covers the “Traditional” manual settings in detail: shutter speed, aperture, ISO or "film speed", metering, and exposure compensation. We will tackle each of these as a separate module, and then put it all together in a way that really allows you to see how each contributes to your perfect photograph. Some advanced composition tips and lighting techniques will also be included.

This class gives you the tools you need to give your imagination full rein, and craft images that speak to you.
