About this Event

Covering all four of our Photo Foundations topics in one class full of intense photo learning, this hands-on workshop will get you up and running fast with the skills you need to get the most from your camera. Do you feel stuck with automatic settings? This is the class for you! Learn to create better photos more easily, under a wide range of conditions. From portraits to macro and scenery to sports, this course is guaranteed to improve your pictures!

Topics covered:
