Overview
  • This is the first class of a digital photography course designed to help a person that has no idea how a camera works, to becoming a master of photography. While other classes on this platform are mainly focussed on what certain aspects of photography are and do, very few have a real emphasis on the cause and effect as to why certain phenomena occur which is vital to gaining a stellar understanding.

    In this first class, we will focus on the basic fundamentals of photography. 

    Please note: The wording "Dummies" is purely comical and is not meant in any offensive or literal sense.

    We are going to cover the following:

    • How Digital Cameras Work
    • What ISO is
    • What Shutter Speed is
    • What Aperture is
    • The Exposure Triangle
    • What White Balance is 

    See you in the next class where we look at more advanced concepts in digital photography ideal for amateur and upcoming photographers.

    Bring a notepad and happy learning!
