Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this camera class:

This energetic lecture is often imitated but never equalled. This weekly Introduction to Photography is designed to introduce people to achieving proper exposure using their cameras. 

Starting each Sunday at High Noon (12 PM), this 90-minute workshop will keep your attention. 

Be sure to bring a camera, as well as your camera manual if you have one. If you do not have a camera, don’t worry, be happy, a camera will be provided for you to use during the workshop.

We have more than 12 DSLRs to loan out. And take advantage of our FREE Camera-Buying Service so that when you do buy a camera, you will make an informed decision.

    A great intro to camera/photography class. It’s a great peek into the class series they offer.

    This was a wonderful intro class. The instructor was friendly, interesting, and did a really good job of getting the class started on the basics.

    I was incredibly surprised by how much information I walked away with after only 90 minutes. You could tell that Nick really cared about the class & was adamant about us taking something away from it. His passion for photography was apparent which made the class very enjoyable. There were multiple times my friend & I looked at each-other and laughed because something we had been trying to learn on our own finally clicked. I'm definitely debating taking the full 7-week session & have told all my friends they should check it out.

    This was a great 90 min intro to photography; I was really surprised by the range of information they were able to cover off on in 90 min. They covered the basics such as perspective, shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. I'd say you leave this workshop ready to start experimenting with your camera outside of auto mode. The only downside is that the workshop got me really jazzed to take more photography classes at the school, but their full sessions are quite expensive... understandable as photography is a very expensive hobby, but still a bummer that I won't be able to take more classes just yet. Otherwise a really concise, 90 min Photography 101. Highly recommend :)

    Nick Sinnott is a wonderful teacher and anyone that takes even the trail course will benefit (if they're a beginner). The facilities are nice and are conducive to learning. I highly recommend doing the trial if you want to find a good photography class. My husband and I both have signed up for the course.

Question from Hassan A.
Only for under 18?
Answer from Chermalyn P. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Students over 18 years old can still attend. There's just a special note for students who are under under 18 years old, they must attend the Free 90-minute workshop with a parent or guardian so the parent or guardian knows what their kid is getting into.

Question from Hassan A.
Certificate will available for this class?
Answer from Angelica B. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
No, a certificate is NOT available for this class as this is just a free workshop for students who have a new Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) camera, need a refresher or have never attended a photography class.
Answer from Debra T. Verified Student
There is no certificate given at the end of this class. It's strictly an intro to how to use a camera, nothing more demanding a certificate. If you need a certificate, I'd call the school. They do have a program you can take but I'm not sure you receive a certificate at the end.
