If you are viewing this site, you are taking the Basic Photography Class given thropugh Orange County BOCES. WELCOME! I hope you enjoy the class.
The class is designed to help those who want to take more than snapshots improve their skills and learn how to use their equipment more thoroughly. This is done through classromm discussions on various subjects, friendly critiques of images from the shooting assignments and one local field trip on a weekend morning.
If you have any questions, please call me or e-mail me and I will give you the help you need!
To get the most out of the class, it is best if you have a fully adjustable camera (digital or film), meaning the camera has the ability to manually set exposures at the very least. Having the ability to change lenses will be a big benefit to capturing more dynamic images as you stretch your photographic abilities!
Below is the class schedule and downloadable documents to help you get started. Please bring the documents to the class so you can take notes on them.
Let's get shooting!
