More about this class:
DSLR BASIC PHOTOGRAPHY AND POST PROCESSING CLASS
This five week class focuses on the basics of the DSLR camera and photography. It is aimed primarily towards people new to digital photography and/or wanting to learn more about DSLRs, on-location shooting, working with available light, the basics of post processing with Adobe Photoshop or Elements, digital workflow, and preparing images for print. The class is part lecture and part in class editing and preparation of images for print. There will also be one optional field trip where you will shoot alongside your classmates and Amy.
This is a small student to teacher ratio class with a lot of personal attention for the students, which Amy finds is the best way to learn the basics of photography.
*As an added bonus: All students will be invited to join a private Facebook Group for continued support and growth.
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT:
DSLR camera, a laptop computer, a photo editing program (Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Elements 11 will be used in class). PLEASE NOTE: You can download the free 30 day trial of either of these programs for the class.

TESTIMONIAL:
"I recently purchased my first DSLR camera and was a bit intimidated with all the buttons and settings. Admittedly I felt overwhelmed. For some time I have been an admirer of Amy Shutt's work because I love taking photos of animals. When I saw that she was offering a course on digital photography I jumped at the chance to learn from her.
I cannot tell you how wonderful an experience it has been. Amy tailored the class to whatever camera, lenses, and editing software that we each had. She also helped explain and encourage us dependent on our interests and skill level. She always has new ideas and reference materials to share with us as a group or individually.
She spent the first few classes showing us how our camera's worked and gave us homework to help us learn how to use it. The second half of the course mainly consisted of how to use your editing software. I learned more in this 6 weeks course than I probably would have learned in a year or more of playing around myself. We took two field trips locally. They were both fun, informative and inspiring. It has been a great opportunity for me to express myself artistically. It was wonderful being around other artists and sharing our love of photography with one another and the excitement when one of us got an amazing shot or discovered a new trick. I feel I have made some new friends and we will keep in touch and grow and support one another."
