Introduction
WELCOME, OVERVIEW, & 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.

What do you need
To get the most form the course you will need access to a digital camera and a computer to work at home. Each week we will work together with your camera and digital editing software on our computers. We will learn new skills in the classroom which you can practise on your own at home then bring in the results the following week to discuss your progress.

Share Your Best Images
Take time to share with the group a couple of you images from the "In and Out of Focus" project. Perhaps you are particularly pleased with some of your results, or perhaps something went specularly wrong and you don't know why. Either way it helps everyone if we share our High points and a low point so we can all learn together. Click on the link to the shared Google Photos folder and upload a few images to get the conversation started.
