Photography Bootcamp
As you will or have seen, Okinawa offers an incredible diversity of imaging potential. Wildlife, Landscape, Architecture, Macro, Product, Street, Fashion and Beauty are all genres readily catered to by the myriad of photographers and photographic services on the island. Many family members of serving Military also get into the art of photography given that it's an incredible way to enjoy and get the most out of a destination during active postings. At the outset photography can seem daunting. This 'Photography Bootcamp' has been created as a first step learning process of those new to photography in order for them to get a grounding in the basics of the art form. As the saying goes, "It's better to walk before you can run".
What Will Be Taught?
Forget the strobes, the studio gear, the portrait sessions, family group shots or any other plans to set the World on fire photographically. This one day workshop has been designed to take a closer look at your camera, to switch away from that nice green 'Automatic' setting and explain in an easy to follow and understandable way. Designed specifically for those of you new to photography but who feel inspired to learn more about it. During the running of this workshop we will cover the following topics.
- Camera Features Explained
- About Lenses and Aperture
- Shutter Speed
- Sensitivity and Noise
- Shooting RAW or Jpeg?
- Golden Rules of Composition
- Basic camera manipulation
- Data Storage
Don't be put off by what appears to be a wide array of daunting content topics. Photography is a visually pleasing creative activity and one that people tend to pick up relatively fast due to its visual nature. We see what happens when we manipulate a control feature and thus fine tune over time until we arrive at our preferred result. By the end of this workshop not only will you will have an understanding about the mechanics of photography but you will also have taken some images under supervision that will help that interest in photography to strengthen.
Course Schedule
Four hours of Photography! Seems like a long time right? Well you'll be surprised at how time flies. Whilst the majority of your time will be spent in discourse about the photographic process there will also be a large chunk of the day dedicated to taking imagery to reinforce the points covered during the discussions. It may seem like a lot to take in initially but once the fundamental groundwork is done the learning process becomes increasingly fluid. During the practical segment of the day I will be right there with you to deal with any further questions you may have and to help you get the most from your practical application of the techniques taught.
Attendee Capacity
Minimum requirement for the workshop is set at 4 individuals. With a new classroom facility now at my disposal and given that environment I am capping attendance at 12 individuals. If there is a greater demand It is relatively simple an affair to plan for an additional date.
