35mm Photography: The Basics

 

Wildlife Photography - Immature Black Skimmer       

 

Course Outline

 

      This class is composed of 4 sessions, each approximately 2.5 hours (evening classes, typically  7-9:30pm).  Slides, digital images, and photographic prints will be used to teach concepts and reinforce the material in the lectures.  Time will be taken during each session, especially during the last session to answer any questions that may arise; this is to assure that everyone understands the material in the course.  Our classes are small so there is lots of personal attention.  We cover both film and digital cameras.

Fees (2008)

Please call for pricing for the Basic 35mm Photography class.

I have compressed a lot of material into this course.  We cover as much or more than in the typical 10 week, 1-hour per week, adult education course.  Small class sizes make this possible.  I guarantee you will learn how to use your camera and improve your photography!  Check out the testimonials on the previous page or contact me for prior students you can contact.  Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  

 


Schedule & Location

Classes are taught throughout the year depending upon the number of students available.  Please call: (973) 361-1189  for availability, starting dates, and any other questions you may have. 

Classes are usually held in the evening from 7-9:30pm.  Classes are held at my apartment and class sizes are small (3-6 students) in order to maximize individual attention.  Click on the following link for directions: Natural World Photography - Directions
