Photography Classes

[chipmunkfan]

I'm a newbie to the SLR world. Has anyone taken general classes and found them useful or is it something you can just read in a book? A friend mentioned that Ritz Camera teaches classes, is it worth it?

Also, if anyone can recommend classes or teaches/knows someone who teaches classes in the Morris County New Jersey area please let me know....

Check your local community colleges. I am taking a class in Oct and I can not wait for it. Usually they are pretty inexpensive.

Understanding Exposure by Bryan Petterson. The best $16 you will ever spend at amazon.

I was going to mention Adult Night School courses... You might want to check out your local area for that.

Of course I've been following your online class Kelly After all you invented "the lens" Your online guide is wonderful I've printed everything out. Also checked out the canon online guide which is great. All of this information makes me feel overloaded I keep on testing myself throughout the day...okay what is aperture/ f-stop/ sensor/ shutter speed...etc. This newbie is going crazy...lol. Thank you for this board it has been extremely helpful!

I will definitely search out local community colleges to look for classes.

Check your local community college for photography work shops. I conduct photography work shops from beginner to advanced digital photography. Since I work in the photography industry, I find that you can find some pretty good classes through camera stores as well. These are sometimes taught my manufacturer representatives.

I tried asking Disneyland if I could take my group of students to Disneyland at night to demonstrate how to take night photos of various parts of the park. So far I have not gotten any response.

I took a photography class through our city parks department. Try there too.
