Getting Your Camera Off Auto Mode - DAPC Photography Bootcamp Class 2

This workshop demystifies and provides an explanation of the camera’s aperture priority and shutter priority settings. The instructor will break down the exposure triangle (shutter speed, aperture & ISO) using real world examples to show how they are interrelated. At the completion participants will be able to make informed decisions using the exposure triangle to get the photograph they want. The class also includes a brief discussion on the visual distortion of wide angle vs. telephoto lenses.

Following that there will be small group hands-on time to help participants learn how to change these settings on their own camera. Participants will then have time to practice what they learned along with members from the DAPC who will be available for assistance. Participants will return to the workshop environment for small group discussion and to answer questions they may have.
