Capturing GOOD pictures with your new DSLR … that's harder. Quality photography starts with understanding how to set your exposure manually. This is NOT difficult to do. In this 2-hour workshop we'll cover aperture, shutter speed and ISO and show you how to change them on your camera. Next, we'll discuss how to use these manual settings to create the images you want. We'll practice the use of bracketing your exposure to ensure you get the right shot and you're on the right path! We will also cover the use of polarizers and capturing images in the RAW format.
