Lesson 1WELCOME, OVERVIEW, and FUNDAMENTALS
Welcome to the Leisure Photography evening class, where we will begin our journey together to gain the knowledge and skills that will help you take control of your photography! Throughout this course, we will be starting with the basics of what makes a good photograph and how you can best use your camera to create images you are proud of. The world of digital photography presents so many "tech" options that it can sometimes be quite confusing. We will take you through your camera controls and some basic editing so you can take back control of your photography. |
In Focus and Out of Focus
Take a series of photographs with something in the frame in focus and something out of focus. Practise by trying to photograph your thumb in focus with the background out of focus. Then try and to the exact opposite, your thumb still in the frame but this time out of focus and the background in focus. See how this is used to great effect in the photographs below.
