Beginning Digital Photography

Intermediate Digital Photography

Transform your memories into beautiful photos to cherish for a lifetime. Rob, a professional photographer for more than 25 years, will help you discover all your camera can do, and how to get that “perfect” picture. His teaching style is to ‘make the complex seem simple,’ and he has been teaching photography since ‘film days.’ You will participate in shooting assignments, as well as get critiques on your work. Bring your camera and let’s get snapping!

If you’re serious about photography, take it to the next level. This course is for owners of cameras with interchangeable lenses and manual controls, rather than the “point and shoot” camera. Learn how to operate your camera to get the best pictures possible and the images you want. One class will be spent on software, explaining how to import images into the computer, then edit, organize, and email them. At least one class will be an excursion for learning new techniques. Check out some of Rob’s work on his website at ImageMakerStudiox3.com.
