When taken the right way, they can become dramatic personal statements with the power to last forever. They can transport you to distant landscapes, capture fleeting emotions, recall cherished memories, reveal the beauty of daily life and even change the world. When many of us take photographs, we simply point our cameras and shoot without being aware of what we're doing or how we can do it better. In reality, taking great photographs requires you to “see” as a professional photographer does; to train your eyes using the same fundamental techniques and principles the experts use to create unforgettable images from the grandest (and simplest) of subjects. This course will help you to understand • how to use your camera settings • how to create or capture the right lighting angles • how to handle difficult situations such as poor lighting and fast moving objects. In this class, you will learn everything you need to know about the art and craft of great photography straight from a professional photographer with more than 40 years of experience. Mike Nichols will guide you through the beginning steps to becoming a better photographer. You’ll need your camera, owner’s manual, and computer cable. Students should be familiar with the locations of their camera settings within the menu. Through voluntary participation in practice sessions you will have the opportunity to learn from images that fall short of your expectations. Come explore how your camera can give you the images you’ve always wanted. This class is for those who have DSLR cameras and have a desire to learn how to use multiple lenses to create dramatic images. Thursday, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. (3 sessions) SPRING: April 9 – 23, 2015 SUMMER: June 4 – 18, 2015 Fee: $79 (by early bird deadline) / $94 (after deadline) Early bird deadline: 1 week PRIOR to start date of class.
