Centnnial School District Community Education
The following is list of classes that I am offering through the Centennial School District's Community Education Program.
New programs area added for each season. The registration buttons will take you directly to the program in the school district's community education catalog. This is a much easier way to locate the classes than going through their on-line catalog.
Digital Photography Fundamentals
Regardless of the type of digital camera you have, learn how to take better photos that you will be proud to share.
This class will cover a variety of topics designed to help you get the most from your camera. Topics include, understanding exposure, camera modes, focusing techniques, lens selection, white balance, and several other topics. Time for questions and answers will be provided. No experience necessary, all camera types welcome including phone cameras.
The class consists of a lecture followed by a photoshoot where you will be able to practice the techniques discussed during the class.
