This Course is not only for those people who have their cameras on Automatic! If you’re still a bit unsure on when or how to use Aperture-Priority, Shutter-Priority, or (horror) Manual, or how to get the background blurry or the waterfall nice and smooth, this is the course for you. It’s hands-on, you bring your own camera.
The course goes over two Saturday mornings a few times a year for members only. Contact the Education Officer for more details: [email protected]
