This in-person class explores the key components of exposure and how they impact different types of photography. It’s great for photographers who want a better understanding of how and when to use shutter speed and aperture priority modes for Landscape, Sports, Wildlife, and Portrait Photography.
Join expert staff from National Camera as we guide you through the concepts. Using a variety of visual examples for each genre, we will detail the individual exposure settings for each image, the main exposure factors, and additional considerations. We’ll also briefly cover white balance and filters, sharing expert tips and practical solutions to common challenges.
Questions are welcome throughout the presentation, with a short opportunity for follow-up at the end, as time allows.
