**Please take some time to write down the reason you signed up for this class. What is it you hope to learn? What is it you need to know? Do you prefer to learn by doing or can you sit and listen to examples?
Your questions will help me to provide you with the best possible answers!
Keep in mind...you don't need to know terminology or your camera's features, you can just shoot on "auto" and hope for the best. But if you understand your camera and have experience using it's features, you will take better pictures.
It is my hope to cover all of the above questions during our next six week. This class and what you learn depends primarily on your interests and needs. Because you are not graded I am geared towards creating opportunities that strengthen your current skills and opportunities that introduce to new and exciting things within the world of digital photography!
