San Diego's #1 Photography Workshop

Manual Exposure (3 hours)

Manual Exposure

This intro to DSLR's and manual exposure workshop is aimed to get you off the automatic mode and teach you how to control your photography. This workshop teaches the fundamentals of exposure, which is the backbone of photography. If you do not have a good grasp on manual exposure, we recommend taking this workshop before any other workshop. Our other workshops expect you to already know this basic knowledge of photography and cameras, so this is a great start for new members. This is a content rich class, so we recommend bringing a notebook. We will provide handouts for you to follow along.

This workshop covers:

• DSLR cameras & equipment

• Viewfinder features

• Manual camera controls

• Metering light

• Fundamentals of manual exposure

• Shutter, Aperture, ISO

• Depth of field

• White Balance

Bring your DSLR camera.

I am really interested in learning more about manual exposure. I want to get to know my camera better. Does this class have room for that, kind of like a one on one or is it a fast pace?

  Hi Joanna. This class discusses balancing aperture and shutter speed manually, which can be a little confusing for some. We cover a lot of content in this class as a group but we can provide individual help when we go outside to shoot.

  Kristen, this is not the class that was offered on Groupon. The Groupon deal is for our Introduction to Photography workshop, which can be found on our homepage. Let me know if you have any questions.

Can I take this workshop with a point and shoot camera? (Canon SX40)

  Yes, that specific camera is an advanced point and shoot with manual mode. You may be limited in some areas, but as far as exposure, you will be fine.

What our members say about The Workshoppe:

“ I will tell you what. This is my first exposure to instruction from working Photographers. Nick and Don were outstanding and very patient with us. Some really had trouble with their cameras and they were patient enough to see them through. The knowledge they presented us will be used by me in my future endeavors. I will definately be taking more classes with these gentlemen. ”

- Richard Shirk

“ As always, I think Nick and Donald are great instructors. One is Canon and one is Nikon so no one is left behind. I love their classes and always try to attend when they are offered. I look forward to them when I sign up and keep hoping for more classes to be posted. I get depressed when I don't have a photo shoot with these guys...lol! ”

- Nancie Casey

“ The instruction is phenomenal--and Nick and Don make it so much fun. I think they're the Abbot and Costello of workshops when it comes to their humor! Lot's of hands on, with both jumping in to help, inspire and encourage. I LOVE these guys! ”

- Cynthia S.

“ I think this statement says it all "I’ll be attending more."

- Chuck Bane

“ The workshop was terrific the instructors had lots of knowledge to share enjoyed sharing it with us and made it easy to understand I enjoyed it so much I just signed up for another workshop ”
