Repeat of Class 1 (providing a 2nd opportunity for more members)

In 2020 the OVCC is planning to provide a host of training sessions for beginner, intermediate, and advanced photographers. This session will be for beginners who want to understand the basics of photography. In the coming months we will build on this foundation and add more and more advance training sessions that will also include learning how to use your gear. Intermediate and advanced sessions will tend to be focused on single topics whereas the beginner sessions will cover broader subject matters.

Covered in this session will be a very short history of photography, when and why to take photos, a few words about equipment, and then the all important Light Triangle Diagram that should open your eyes as to all those buttons on your camera that control ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. At the end I will plan to show the syllabus for future training sessions so you can see how you will build on what you learned in this session.

If we exceed the number of seats in the reserved meeting room we will investigate getting a larger room or offering multiple sessions, however, I request that only beginners sign up for this class.

For this first session do not plan to bring your camera, that will start with session 2. A PDF file of the presentation will be emailed afterwards to those who sign up at the session.
