Photography Class
Saturday, January 24, 10:30-11:30 am
Led by Hilo Photo Shooters, Lee Schechtman
Photography can be a fun and rewarding hobby whether the camera you are using is a cellphone, point and shoot, or more sophisticated DSLR or mirrorless model. This approximately one hour course will touch upon some basic photographic concepts including camera modes, exposure, aesthetic aspects (such as composition, color, etc.), and post-processing. The purpose is to provide familiarity with common photographic terms and concepts so that one can then further pursue more advanced knowledge either online, via book, or in-person learning.
