Intro to Digital Photography: 5 Part Series

February 2 - March 1 2020


Sundays: February 2 - March 1
3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., Magnolia Room & Gardens

This series is intended for beginners with a Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera.
Do you have a digital camera that mainly stays in its box because there are so many dials and menu items it’s hard to find a place to start, much less take a good photograph? The focus isn’t right, the color is wrong, the picture is too dark or too light. You have spent hours on the internet looking at “how to” videos and articles, yet it still doesn’t click. Then there are terms like f-stop, ISO, shutter speeds, exposure triangle and on and on.

Join this 5-class series and demystify the process of learning to use your digital camera in manual mode. Garvan staffer and photographer Julia Mann teaches this series using her successful technique tailored to be understandable and build confidence and knowledge in every student. This “hands on” class has everyone taking better photos from the first class forward.

$45 Members | $75 Non-Members | Registration Required | Class size is limited to 10 students | Please Register Online
