Meghan,
Thanks for asking this question! It is a great one.

At the beginning of the class, I will give instruction on Aperture, Shutter and ISO and explain how each setting affects an image.

After this each person will be guided to pick one or two things to work on experimenting with during class. This could be trying out aperture mode, playing in manual mode, using a reflector, experimenting with creating high key or low key images. This will allow each person, no matter what level of experience, to be able to challenge themselves with me right there to help them through! I will be happy to help anyone who feels unsure of what to focus on.

Then we will go outside to practice! Using some photo prompts we will adventure outdoors to play with light. I will share the settings I choose for each image we work on and then you will have some time to have fun and experiment yourself.

I will be there checking in to help in any way I can with camera settings, composition and to provide feedback.

At the end of class we will spend the remaining time, sharing our work with each other and reflecting on what we have learned.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Hope to see you in class!
