FREE ARTS WORKSHOPS FOR TEENS
A is for Aperture:
Putting your camera to work.
Saturday, November 2 @ Moore Library (10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.)
Registration required. Register at http://bit.ly/18L5ToO
__Getting off auto mode may seem scary, but it doesn't have to be
that way. Understanding how exposure, aperture and iso work will give
you the chops to be a more confident photographer. In this free
workshop photographer Jesse Michener will break it all down for you
in clear, easy-to-understand language so you really get it. She will
talk about composition and post-processing choices. If you have a
smartphone bring it along. We will take a look at how to take amazing
photographs with your phone, talk about filers and apps, as well as
how to get those shots into the real world.
Bring your camera (if you have one - if not you can use one of
ours), your camera's manual, your smartphone (if you have one),
walking shoes, raingear if needed, and a desire for adventure. Don't
forget your lunch!
