Event Details

Learning Digital Photography
• Level 1 - Exposure
 -

The first step in learning photography is to understand exposure.  In essence, we need to capture the right amount of light for the right length of time and at the right speed.  Simple enough, yet complex enough to be deserving of a full day lesson. 

The first 3 hours are in the classroom, then we'll take a 3-hour excursion so you will have hands-on practice with what you've learned.  Class size is significantly limited to assure personalized attention when we are out shooting. 

What you'll learn in this class   

I'll lead you through basic photography to make sure you understand how to make a correct exposure.  How to use your shutter speeds, f/stops (aperture) and ISO in conjunction with the correct white balance to create properly exposed images every time.  

This seminar is geared towards providing you with the basics of photography from the ground up as they relate to Digital (and Film) cameras. Here's some of the many topics we'll discuss:

  • ISO - What it is and how to select the right setting.
  • White Balance, understanding it and using it effectively.
  • Setting the f/stop, shutter speed, and ISO to achieve the correct exposure.
  • Taking great photographs in some of the worst conditions.
  • How to come home from your vacation with photos that you'll want to share with everyone.
  • Getting professional looking results with a basic camera.
  • Buying the camera that best fits your needs and photographic interest.

This is just an outline of the topics we'll discuss. We'll discuss various cameras to help you understand every topic more thoroughly. You'll have the opportunity to get your questions answered in a way that will be meaningful.

We're going to talk about photographing your friends and family, your pets, your car, your house, nature, and just about anything that you might want to photograph. If you have a camera I encourage you to bring it along so you can get practice on your own camera as we move through these topics. 

This seminar will last about 6 hours with a 1-hour lunch break at noon. Please come prepared with a notepad as you may want to take notes on some our discussion.  Be prepared to be outside for 3 hours (weather permitting) and bring water, shoes, etc. and dress appropriately.

Student Reviews:

I have taken every class from Jeff and been on a few excursions and have gone from taking hundreds of snapshots hoping for a few keepers, to taking a handful of photographs and most will be keepers. You will not find many people with as much experience in film development, digital, Photoshop, printing, scanning, business, teaching, studio, modeling, product photography, macro, and a tour guide through Kansas. Jeff can even make a drive through western Kansas a wonderful experience and you will come back with stories to pass on.  Mike B.

I have attended Jeff's photography class as well as a couple of workshops. I was a complete novice with my little point and shoot camera. Jeff insisted the camera didn't matter, it was all about trusting yourself to take it off "auto" and learn to really take pictures. The material was presented in a format easy for me to understand with lots of one on one instruction (and with a sense of humor!) He convinced me I was smarter than my camera, and the proof is in the photos. When people look at my photos and tell me I missed my calling and should have been a photographer... well that's a testimony to Jeff!  Lori K.
