I encourage newer photographers to sign up for this session. We will demystify ISO, shutter speed, and aperture settings. We will combine architecture, street, and art subjects to leverage and practice step-by-step instructions. Some of you who have joined me in the past may find this session to be a little elementary, but feel free to sign up if you want to challenge yourself with practice and add more content to your collection.No specialty gear is necessary. In fact, bring a camera phone! Modern phones offer customization of these three settings, so sign up if this will benefit you!For everyone else bring one or two lenses, leave the flashes and tripods at home, and be sure that you have at least 32 gigs of free storage and extra batteries. Please find some videos that show you how to change the shutter speed, ISO, and aperture settings for your own camera. That's it, I can provide guidance from there. There are many manufacturers, and I don't know all of the settings.
