Through hands-on work with your camera, learn basic camera functions: use of the camera's metering system, reading the exposure metering scale, how to set shutter speed and aperture settings, understanding why you would use exposure compensation, and the functioning of both manual and auto-exposure metering systems. Bring your camera* to class.
* NOTE: We will work with both digital and film format cameras, but only with those whose functions you can adjust as the photographer/artist. We will not work with simple point-and-shoot cameras where the camera makes all functional decisions. |
