ADDITIONAL INFO

The course is arranged in three sections:

Section 1 is about the fundamentals of exposure. First, we discuss the concept of the Exposure Triangle. Then, we dive individually into each of the three sides of the triangle: shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Additional content in this section focuses on finding these settings on a variety of cameras, and putting the concepts into practice.

Section 2 focuses on more of the camera settings and buttons that are important to new photographers, such as autofocus mode, autofocus area, shutter drive, white balance, metering modes, and more. The section finishes with a few in-the-field examples where we narrate every component, setting, and intention behind a series of photographs.

Section 3 is an ever-expanding “grab bag” of mini-tutorials about various concepts and common questions. These a la carte tutorials include instruction on macro photography, camera types, equipment, posture, and more. This section grows based on student curiosity and questions. If you are taking this course, please do not hesitate to reach out if there is a concept about which you’d like additional instruction.
