Digital Basics - Getting Off Auto

Our digital photography basics class explains manual exposure by clearly covering aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. You'll learn how these core settings work together to create well-exposed images in a variety of shooting situations. This class is ideal for photographers who want a strong foundation and more control over their camera.

Camera Button Breakdown
Have you ever looked at all the buttons, dials, and menus on your camera and wondered where to begin? Camera Button Breakdown is designed to help you move beyond Auto mode by explaining what your camera's controls actually do and, more importantly, when to use them.



Whether you own a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or bridge camera, this hands-on class will help you become more comfortable with your equipment in a relaxed, beginner-friendly environment.

Understanding Exposure

This class examines the relationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, showing how each affects depth of field, motion, brightness, mood, and image quality. Rather than treating exposure as a collection of formulas to memorize, you'll learn why different settings create different visual results and when each choice serves the photograph you're trying to make.



By the end of the class, you'll have a stronger understanding of how exposure influences the look and feel of an image, giving you the confidence to move beyond automatic settings and intentionally create photographs that match your artistic vision.
