Our Introduction to and Understanding of Photography six part program is open to all OVCC members with no requirement for dues.

This is the first of six classes on an Introduction to and Understanding Photography. The concepts that will be presented over the six sessions will cover the early history of photography, exposure, composition, camera settings for specific images, and an introduction to Lightroom. The class is intended for beginners to intermediate level photographers. Even if you have been around photography for years you will learn something new in these sessions.

Today’s session will cover:

• What is Photography?
• A Short History of Photography
• Why Photography? Why Do It At All?
• A Few Words About Equipment
• It’s All About the Light! Really!

The six session series will cover:

5. Camera Settings for Specific Images (Part 2)
6. Image Storage Workflow & Intro to Lightroom
   Attend any or all of the classes!

The class will be conducted on-line with each session following one week after the prior session. A pdf copy of the presentation will be emailed after each session to attendees.

Please join my meeting 15 minutes early, from your computer, tablet or smartphone. This extra time will allow you time to resolve most software issues or figuring out the controls for your camera and mic.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
All the land in the Ewing Bottoms is privately owned, so please be respectful of private property. Confine your picture-taking to road sides and do not block roads, try to chase groups of cranes with cameras, or park in private driveways. If the birds change their behavior because of your presence, you are too close. Cranes are protected by law and incidents should be reported to Indiana Department of Natural Resources Conservation Offices at 812-837-9536.
