Photography Classes with Frank Ceravalo
Now that you have gotten that new camera for Christmas or have one that you just want to learn more about Frank is offering a 3 part series on the basics of digital photography for beginners. Classes will start at 1 and last 2 to 3 hours depending on the number of participants and discussions. Because of the many differences in digital cameras, even from the same manufacturer, it would be good if each participant reviews their owners manual. After the first two classes, there will be some homework to help enforce what we discussed and to prepare the participant for the next class. However each class a unit of its own, so if you only want to take one or two of them, you will be OK.
Each class is $30 or you can sign up for all 3 for $70. Advance registration and payment are required by Feb 10th for the 3 class package.

Digital Photography brings many advantages to the photographer and one of those is more control. Unfortunately the amount of control available on even the most basic camera may seem overwhelming. This class will focus on the main differences between film (old world) and digital photography as well as the basic controls of photography in general. We will use our cameras during this class to demonstrate the different features. BRING YOUR MANUALS! We will venture off of Program mode

Now that you have captured your images what do you do now? We will discuss the steps involved in loading your images on your computer, backing up data, basic image adjustments, and printing your final images.
