Are you new to photography? Do you have a digital SLR, mirrorless camera, or a phone camera with manual settings and just cannot get the kind of images you would like? Capturing Photography Basics is designed to give you the confidence to get off "Auto" mode and start capturing the images you have always wanted.
Photographer Xander Kabat will introduce you to the world of photography. You will learn about shutter speed, aperture, ISO and more. Xander will also touch on creative elements such as composition and perspective.
The aim of this theoretical workshop is to get you confident using your camera!
Participants will learn about:
*What is photography?
*Shooting modes - why you should never use "Auto"
*What is the "exposure triangle" and why it is everything in photography?
*ISO and configuring your camera to shoot for different conditions
Aperture
*Shutter speed, including capturing emotions and shooting movement
*Focus
*The three most important aspects of composition: depth of field; rule of thirds; and secondary content.
This workshop is suitable for digital cameras with manual controls (P, A/Av, S/Tv and M modes) including DSLRs, Micro Four Third cameras, mirrorless cameras, and advanced compact cameras. It is also suitable for phone cameras that have manual function abilities.
This is a theoretical workshop, and you only need to bring something to take notes. There is no need to bring any equipment.
Bookings are essential for this free event. Light refreshments will be available. We suggest you bring your own keep-cup or mug for tea, coffee or water. Please advise us if you have any accessibility requirements.
