35mm Photography: The Basics

 

Wildlife Photography - Immature Black Skimmer       

 

Course Outline

 

      The basics can be learned in 3 sessions.  Each session is about 3 hours.   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 to answer any questions that may arise; this is to assure that everyone understands the material in the course.  Our classes are one-on-one so we can easily answer all of your questions and cover anything you want.  You get to gear the class to exactly what you want to learn.  The Lesson plan below is a basic guide to the concepts taught.

Fees (2010)

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.
