Description
The Mastering Series of classes is recommended for DSLR digital camera owners only. There is an old expression for taking pictures that still rings true today: F8 and be there. With the newest digital cameras "being there" and ready has become even easier. To capture something unique, as you see it, you must have a working knowledge of light, composition and timing. Those tools will ensure success in every situation. Other classes in the series include: Light and Exposure and and Flash and Capturing Action.
Timing demands an ability to anticipate, see and capture peak action. Henri Cartier-Bresson, the father of photojournalism, called this element in taking pictures, "the decisive moment." It is an essential ingredient in both landscape and people photography. We will talk about basic flash techniques, shutter speeds and f-stops. We will look at the Garden in terms of weather, time of day, and season, and study successful photographs of nature. An off camera flash and tripod are recommended.
