45–60 minutes of illustrated lecture, theory, and discussion, then

Pre-Registration Required

Session 1: Get to Know Your Camera

Learn the three core elements of photography—shutter speed, aperture, and ISO—and how they work together in different lighting conditions. Then take your camera outside and practice controlling these settings in real time.

Session 2: Elements of Style

Explore lighting, composition, depth of field, natural framing, leading lines, and the difference between portraits and action shots. You’ll put these ideas into practice immediately during guided outdoor shooting.

Workshop limit: 25 participants.
Cost: $20 members, $25 non-members.
