Photography Workshops

By Jeff Cowell
Photographic Exposure


Coronado Heights

The first step in learning photography is to understand exposure. In essence, we need to capture the right amount of light for the right length of time and at the right speed. Simple enough, yet complex enough to be deserving of it's own lesson.

What you'll learn in this class

I'll lead you through basic photography to make sure you understand how to make a correct exposure. How to use your shutter speeds, f/stops (aperture) and ISO to create properly exposed images every time.

This class is geared towards providing you with the basics of photography from the ground up as they relate to Digital (and Film) cameras. Here's some of the many topics we'll discuss:

  • ISO - What it is and how to select the right setting.

  • Setting the f/stop, shutter speed, and ISO to achieve the correct exposure.

  • Taking great photographs in some of the worst conditions.

  • How to come home from your vacation with photos that you'll want to share with everyone.

  • Getting professional looking results with a basic camera.

  • Buying the camera that best fits your needs and photographic interests.

This is just an outline of the topics we'll discuss.

We're going to talk about photographing your friends and family, your pets, your car, your house, nature, and just about anything that you might want to photograph. If you have a camera I encourage you to bring it along so you can get an idea of where everything is on your own camera as we move through these topics.

This Workshop will include a 2-hour presentation followed by 2 hours of hands time to deal with your individual cameras and needs.

  • 10. White Balance and RAW Images
    • White Balance is critical in all of our images and the RAW file format can make a tremendous difference in our end-results.

We will also talk about the benefits of RAW images in common photographic situations.

  • 11. Digital Photo File Management
    • Image handling and file management is a critical part of Digital Photography. Although many software programs can help you find and manage your photos, it is important that you "KNOW" where your photos are on your computer. This knowledge is not only handy when you want to find a photos, it's also important for you to properly backup and protect your photos.
