Photography Basics: Understanding Aperture

Do you enjoy photography but feel overwhelmed by the amount of buttons on your camera?

Then this class is a great way to get started!

In this 3 hour introductory photography course, you will learn your camera basics and start to create some stunning effects such as:

• Background Blur: this is a great effect for when you want to make your subjects stand out. Some of the uses are: portraits, food photography, detail shots and much more.

• Bokeh: Is another effect where lights in the background get blurred and takes the shape of a circle making the background look more interesting! This effect is seen frequently in Christmas portraits/shots.

All these effects can be learned and achieved in aperture priority (A and Av) mode

In this class you will also learn about:

•  ISO

• Aperture

• Focus

During this outdoor class, which is limited to 6 students, you will have hands-on experience. This way students will learn how to adapt camera settings in different lighting situations.
