Digital scrapbookers all want to be able to turn the image in our head into the image in the camera, but sometimes we find we lack the knowledge and skills to get the results we desire.
The Digital Photography Master Class will cover the basics of good photography from the technical to the artistic, and give you the information you need to make beautiful, professional-quality images.
This class is for point and shoot owners as well as DSLR owners and everyone in-between! The more flexibility your camera allows in manually adjusting settings, the more you will get from the class, but we will offer suggestions and work-arounds for all types of cameras. If you are concerned that your camera will not be adequate to the course, please contact us and ask before registering!
Taken from our popular course taught at the local college, this is a four week course, and we recommend you take all four weeks as they build on each other. If you prefer, you can register for just one, two or three sessions - choose your sessions below. Read the session descriptions below to see what will be covered in each session before choosing. If you take all four sessions, you do get a substantial price break, so please choose the ALL SESSIONS option, rather than clicking on the four individual weeks.
