I completed the first series of photography classes yesterday!

The 3 workshop (2 hour session each) schedule allowed us to break down the objective for each class: The overriding theme was: to make the most of your digital SLR or advanced compact camera!

1. 10th April, 9.45 AM  Introduction: technical aspects of your camera gear, possibilities and limitations, "camera" language and terms; Aperture, shutter-speed, diaphram, bokeh, dept of field, vignetting, ISO, sensor size, pentaprism, angle of view, high definition video (HD), the sunny 16 rule, understanding the histogram and dynamic range... As you can see we did have quite a load on our plate!

2. 24th April, 9.45 AM  Composition: photo rules, how to create strong images! We covered different situations and camera set ups in photography, during adventure trips, street photography, landscape work or fast action photography. After that we discussed the rules of composition; diagonal lines, geometric shapes, the rule of thirds, framing images, balancing elements, viewpoint, background,creating dept and cropping.

3. 30th April, 4.00 PM  Let there be light! What are our light options: available light, fill flash use, flash photography, the use of reflectors, shooting in open shade and other light sources. We also addressed creating silhouettes, using shadows as elements in general, long exposures, rear curtain sync and more... post processing/ the digital darkroom

At this point I would like to tank all participants for their attendance and for giving me the possibility to share through photography!
