Description

Join us at Castle Island in Boston as we dive into learning how to use your camera! Learning about photography can be a real challenge. There are so many pieces to the puzzle of photography, some of which use confusing terminology. And while we also offer other wonderful Beginner Photography classes to get you started, nothing is truly the same as hands-on in-the-field! It’s important to fully understand the “why” and “how” of your camera settings. In this outdoor, hands-on class, you'll learn all about the basics of photography. We will discuss Exposure (how light works with the camera), the Big Three Settings (Aperture, Shutter Speed, & ISO), how they affect your picture and how to set them, and what mode to set it to on your camera! We'll discuss changing depth-of-field (controlling what’s in focus in the background), stopping or blurring the action in your scene, and many other basic picture-taking techniques. This will be an excellent opportunity to learn about your camera in a fun and safe environment! Join us to strengthen your photographic knowledge! In this session of Beginner Photography in the Field... ...we will be going to Castle Island in South Boston. Jutting out into the Boston Harbor from South Boston lies the unique and beautiful Castle Island, along with one of its main attractions, the historic Fort Independence. During the summer months, the boulevard that guides you around the strip of land buzzes with activity. Fort Independence overlooks the entire area on a hilltop. With a 360-degree hillside view and panoramas onto the bay and into Boston, as well as the lively activity, Castle Island is breathtaking in the summer months. This is an excellent area to learn about photography with a variety of fine-details and interesting scenes that can lead to terrific photographs.
