About This Workshop
About This Workshop
Join me in taking the first steps to gain full creative control of your camera to make the photographs you envision! Take your camera off automatic mode and start working in manual mode in just two weeks with this workshop. We will cover the fundamentals of ISO and shutter speed so that by the end of the two weeks you’ll have a firm grasp on how to blur and freeze action in your photographs.
Throughout the workshop you’ll be putting your new skills to the test as you produce fun and powerful images that represent movement, bringing your photos to life!
Prize!
One lucky student who completes this session will win:
- A one-hour individual Skype call to discuss all things photography. Whether you’re exploring a new technique, having camera troubles, want advice on a new project, or just want to review some of the techniques in the workshop, we can tailor the call to your specific needs.
How it works:
- Enroll in the class and watch the video lessons to learn the skills you need to complete each step.
- I’ll send out periodic email reminders outlining which project step to complete next.
- Post your project steps in the class’s project gallery to get feedback from your classmates. Remember that everyone is learning and Skillshare is collaborative environment so make sure to offer feedback to your classmates.
- Students who complete all project assignments by January 18th, 2016 will have a chance to win the one hour individual Skype call prize!
Experience and Special Equipment:
- There’s no experience needed. All you’ll need to complete this workshop is a camera that allows you to control the manual features (ISO, shutter speed and aperture). You can even use your smartphone (you may need to download an app to unlock your phone camera’s manual controls).
