Through the Lens: Digital Photography 101
For all of you that expressed interested in the photography workshop, I am introducing Through the Lens: Digital Photography 101. A workshop for anyone that wants to improve their photography skills – for beginners – taught by a beginner.
I have started a Yahoo Group that I will use to send out the starting date, reminders and or any news about the assignments. Please join only if you would like to be on the mailing list. This is strictly for updates on this workshop. You do not have to join the group to participate. I have formed the Yahoo group as a convenience to prevent anyone from missing an assignment. Also, if an assignment has to be postponed, I will have the ability to give you a heads up. In addition, all future assignments will be listed at the bottom of this page for easy bookmarking.
So what do you need to take this workshop? Well… for one, a camera. To follow along with the assignments you should have at least a 3 mega pixel camera with optional manual settings, (allows you to change the aperture and shutter speed.) If you do not have the ability to change the settings on your camera, you are absolutely still welcome to join, but will have a hard time following along with many of the assignments.
You will also need a place to upload your photos, such as a blog or a Flickr account. When you are done with the assignment you will come back to this blog and link to your finished photos, wherever you have uploaded them. If you are uploading your photos to an photo account and then uploading them to your blog, I recommend Flickr’. Some places will compress your files during your upload, which causes a loss in quality. Flickr’ allows you to upload without compression on even large files.
Lastly, you are required to have understanding for the person teaching this workshop because I am NOT A PROFESSIONAL! So please have patience with little ol’ me. I am learning as we go too. Have any suggestions? Well, bring ‘em on; I’m listening and I looove suggestions.
When do we start you ask? The date of the first assignment will be June 20th barring any natural disasters or Hallie disasters. Don’t laugh, those of you that know me can attest to the truthfulness of this statement.
