Digital Photography for Dummies

via Skillshare

Overview

This is the first class of a digital photography course designed to help a person that has no idea how a camera works, to becoming a master of photography. While other classes on this platform are mainly focussed on what certain aspects of photography are and do, very few have a real emphasis on the cause and effect as to why certain phenomena occur which is vital to gaining a stellar understanding.

In this first class, we will focus on the basic fundamentals of photography. 

Please note: The wording "Dummies" is purely comical and is not meant in any offensive or literal sense.

We are going to cover the following:

  • How Digital Cameras Work
  • What ISO is
  • What Shutter Speed is
  • What Aperture is
  • The Exposure Triangle
  • What White Balance is 

See you in the next class where we look at more advanced concepts in digital photography ideal for amateur and upcoming photographers.

Bring a notepad and happy learning!
