Program: Camera Fundamentals: Part 1
Program Information:
Do you have a camera that just sits on the shelf because it’s “too complicated”? Or do you use your camera but you just aren’t able to capture the photos you’d like? Well then, grab your camera (and the manual) and join the TWC Nature Photo Club when it meets Saturday, January 26 at 9:30 a.m. at the Wilderness Center, 9877 Alabama Ave SW, Wilmot, OH. Local photographer, Paul Keske, will be presenting the program “Camera Fundamentals, Part 1”. (Part 2 will be presented on February 23.) In this 2-part series, Paul will help you understand your camera’s exposure modes so that you can create the photos YOU want. You will learn the practical side of using Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and the Manual Mode and the why’s behind choosing one over another. Along the way we’ll explore both the technical and the artistic reasons to choose an exposure mode and how to control each of these. Paul has been a photographer most of his life. After decades of film photography he switched to digital in 2008. In addition to presenting programs on the basics of photography, Paul also teaches classes in post-processing using Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and Lightroom. He is the current president of the Ashland Photography Club. This program is free and open to the public.
