it is time to open up this blog to those members of the CCC who expressed interest in learning a bit about the camera. After some email tag almost 30 members of the club expressed interest in participating in some in-depth lessons on photography. This is fantastic and I am sure we will have a lot of fun as we discuss many different aspects of photography in the coming months.First Lesson: Read your camera manual. Cannot stress enough the importance of reading the manual that came with your camera. You have to become comfortable using your camera with all of its dials, buttons and menu settings if you really want to take control of it. Remember, the whole purpose of these lessons is to have you, the photographer have complete control of the camera. The camera is the tool and you are the artist. But before you can paint the picture you first must know your tools.
Although I do have a basic outline of where I want to go with these lessons there is a lot of room for improvision. If you are particularily interested in a specific topic please let me know and I will try and get some info out to you.
Also, I really feel this group will work best if there is a lot of feedback from other members. This blog does have a comment section I an encourage everyone to make use of them. Ask questions, give ideas, link to pictures (web sizes please), etc… Everyone will get more out of this if everyone participates.
Till next time……
