Instructor: Cornelia Hasenfuss 

Have you ever wondered what all those buttons on your camera are? Do you want to learn about the camera functions on your cell phone? Get to know your camera better in this 4 week course. You might be making images on a traditional film camera, a digital camera, or your iPhone; with whatever you decide to bring to class, this course will help you get to know your camera’s tools and creative controls. Through guided weekly assignments we will review the basics of camera construction and proper exposure for your pictures.  Our final class will focus on editing and creating a mini-portfolio for you to better remember techniques and tools covered in the class.

Class fee: $90 (10% off for Catamount Arts members)
