Beginners welcome! No experience or prior knowledge necessary, but you do need to bring a digital SLR camera to this class.

 

This is a three-hour group class for those interested in understanding how to get better results with their digital SLR camera. You probably paid a lot of money for that camera, and a little training will help you get so much more out of it!  Let’s get your camera off of “auto” mode so you can take creative control of your photos. Beginners are encouraged to attend. No experience or prior knowledge is necessary, but you do need to bring a digital SLR camera to this class. Read class reviews from previous attendees, or see what others are saying on Facebook.

 

This is a very hands-on class, where I’ll help demystify all those controls on your camera. Content will include:

 

  • Focusing

  • Getting correct exposure through both manual and automatic methods by understanding ISO, shutter speed and aperture

  • White balance

  • Lens selection

​

With each discussion we’ll change settings on our cameras and get practice applying each concept. I usually cover this same information in my personalized two-hour one-on-one classes, but this class is great for those who prefer a group environment, or who would like a little extra time to absorb and experiment with each concept before moving onto the next one.

Learn How to Use Your Digital SLR Camera, $99
Flexible dates, ongoing
Let's customize a training session specifically for you. I’ve taught beginners with absolutely no photography knowledge, as well as those who already have a fairly good grasp of their camera. Do you need help getting your photos in better focus? Maybe proper exposure is eluding you. Or perhaps you're starting at square one, and just need an overall orientation to your camera. We can also work on Photoshop or photography business-related topics if that’s what you need.
 
I charge $125 for a two-hour class. You may add a friend or spouse for an additional $25. To schedule a private lesson you can contact me at MaryLynneAshley@gmail.com or call my cell at 719-205-7236.

Learn How to Use Your Digital SLR Camera , PART 2, $99

Next dates TBD

 

Let's spend a morning reinforcing and expanding upon what you learned in my introductory DSLR class. The class will consist of a combination of lecture and hands-on shooting. It is a great refresher if you took my first class, need to review, but also want to build on that knowledge. Class size is limited to 8 students.

 

You'll gain more experience shooting in manual mode and working to get sharp, in-focus images through the various focusing methods. My aim with this class is to force you to get that camera back out of the bag and to make yourself think about how to put together all the pieces you've learned so you can leave with even more confidence in your ability to use your camera.

 

Lecture will include:

 

  • A review of concepts presented in Part 1 (focusing, white balance, exposure triangle: ISO, shutter speed, aperture, lens selection)

  • Expansion on the above topics

  • Introduction of metering modes

 

Hands-on exercises will include:

 

  • A variety of exercises intended to reinforce the concepts we've discussed by getting you to think through what you are being asked to achieve and how to best accomplish it.

 

What to bring:

 

  • DSLR camera

  • Camera user manual

  • Charged battery and battery charger

  • Memory card with enough space to take plenty of photos

  • Any lenses you have

  • Tripod if you have one
