Explore Canberra with this photography class and learn how to use manual mode so you have the confidence to capture the images you want!
Running for two hours, this class designed for intermediate level photographers will guide you around many photogenic locations near Canberra's National Gallery for you to fine-tune your new skills. This class is perfect for those who have had a play in some manual settings but have not had the confidence to go into full manual mode.
Let an expert photographer help you understand shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and white balance as well as shoot in manual mode and show you all the best settings to get the most out of your camera. You will fall in love with the manual settings once you learn all about them and you will never want to use automatic settings again.
In this class, we will cover:
Manual photography
Adjusting your exposure
Aperture
Depth of field
Shutter speed
Fill flash
This class is run in small groups so you can receive a lot of one-on-one help! You will leave feeling confident taking photos in manual mode and will get off auto mode for good.
