I’m so excited to announce this next workshop for those photographers who are just starting out and want to learn more about basic photography. The online course will be 8 weeks and here’s how it will run.

I have created a special website just for you. Here you will have the ability to post in a forum, submit your pictures and read and get your lessons and your assignments. Each particpant will recieve a manual that will be chalked full of information that will help you as you work your way through this course.

Week 1

During week one we will introduce each other and will spend time getting asscssed with your camera and the settings. We will also talk about composition and the difference between candid and portrait shots.

Week 2
We will begin to get technical this week. You will learn about Aperture and how to shoot in aperture mode on your camera.

Week 3
We will talk about the exposure triangle and ISO and how to work in your knowledge of aperture and composition.

This week we will explore sharpness and focusing issues.

Lighting is what we will focus on this week. Both indoor and outdoor and using an external flash (if you must)
