Tuesday                Outside Class

In this course, you will learn basic camera settings including ISO, shutter speed, aperture and white balance.  You will also learn about camera equipment and how to take care of them.  You will learn how to move from taking images in auto setting to aperture or shutter speed priority.  Please bring your camera instruction manual.  Cameras vary widely and to get the most from your camera, you should be willing to become famiiar with it.  Also, it would be helpful to have a tripod.

This is my third year teaching this course here at YCSC and I have also taught this course while working at IDEXX Labs.  My interest in digital photography is now in its second decade.  Itinerary will include but not limited to Laudholm, Rachel Carson, Mt. Agamenticus, Laurel Hill Cemetery and local beaches.  Also places suggested by class participants.
