Digital SLR Workshop – February 7, 2012, Classic Residence

Flummoxed by all of those buttons, dials, and menus on your camera? Don't understand f-stop, HDR or histograms? A course on basic understanding and use of the digital camera will be taught by the NIH Camera Club's own, Greg Holden (gholden@imagesunderfoot.com) on February 7, between 7:30 and 9:30 PM in the Art Room at the Classic Residency. Although this session will be taught using examples from a digital SLR camera, most of the material can be useful for those who use advanced point-and-shoot cameras with manual controls. Greg will go over basic set-up of a camera and typical adjustments that are made before the shutter is clicked such as the different adjustments of aperture (lens opening), shutter speed (duration of exposure), and sensor sensitivity (ISO). He will cover the how and why of using these adjustments during different types of shooting. This will be an interactive workshop, so bring your questions and your camera.  Also, bring your camera's manual in case we need to look up how to use a feature on your particular camera.
