Making Friends with your DSLR with Sandy Kaplan – G26090303
In this workshop we will cover everything you will need to know to make a truly wonderful photo. It may sound simple, but we will start with the correct way to hold the camera. We will get to understand how to use shutter speed, f stops and ISO. We will learn which of these control what happens in your photo. How to balance each of these to achieve exactly what we want our photo to look like.
We will learn to shoot at all times of the day, early morning, mid-day when the sun is right above our head, golden hour and late at night after dark.
By taking that camera off the automatic setting and placing it on manual, we will be in control and get the photo we want, not just what the camera gives us. We will MAKE the photo, not just TAKE a photo.
We will also learn to use a tripod, when to use it and how to use it to help us make that perfect photo.
Most important of all, we will learn to “see” the light.
Light is all around us all the time. Bright light, dull light, no light at all. We will learn to really see it, not just be in it. We will learn to make photos in all sorts of lighting conditions. We will learn to dance with the light and have it help us make extraordinary images.
