Intro to Photography I, Camera Crash Course

Camera Crash Course! is an excellent operations primer to set you up for success with future photography classes so you can get right into learning the creative stuff your camera can do instead of fumbling to find where to change your aperture! Learn proper focusing, the ins and outs of aperture, shutter speed, ISO (the "exposure triangle") and much more. Even if you've had your camera for a while, but have been frustrated with not knowing how to change your settings, this class is for you too!
