Event Overview
Do you have an SLR camera that you never really took the time to learn how to use? Are you always shooting in auto mode because you're unsure of which settings to use? In this class, we'll start with the basics and walk through how to get the correct settings on any SLR camera. You spent a lot of money on a nice camera, so now let's learn how to use it!
We'll begin in a classroom setting where we'll review photography basics like ISO, f-stop, and shutterspeed. Then we'll go over the different camera settings, when to use them, and how to toggle them specifically on your camera.
After our two hours in the classroom (weather permitting), you are welcome to join me on an one hour photowalk to put your new camera knowledge to work. We'll look for good light, take some portraits, and go over any questions you might have.
In this class we cover:
Photography Basics
Photo Formats: Jpeg vs Raw
Understanding Exposure
Shooting modes
Other important features: White balance, focal modes, shutter drives, and more
Lenses: which lens should I buy?

SLR Camera with a fully charged battery. Feel free to bring multiple lenses if you don't mind carrying them

Alexis B.Reviewed on 02/18/16I took the SLR Photography 101 class that was taught by Dustin Johnston. I have not had any prior photography experience. I purchased my camera the week before class and didn't know anything about how to use it. Dustin was amazing! He explained things to me in a manner that was not overwhelming or complicated. He was very thorough and patient-- and made it so much fun! I am looking forward to taking more classes with him. I highly recommend his classes to everyone!

Dustin is very engaging and enthusiastic and easy to learn from. He, very clearly, simplified the SLR language and gave me the confidence to finally take my SLR camera out of auto-mode. I'm looking forward to applying these new techniques to improve my photography skills.

Dustin did a great job of getting us more familiar with the settings on our Nikon SLR. I feel much more confident about shooting outside of he preset modes on the camera.
