Description
In this follow-up to our Beginner Digital Photography class (which covers exposure, aperture and shutter speed), this class covers:
- how you can use ISO to take better pictures in low light environments
- how to use your flash so that your images look naturally lit instead of that awful “flash” look with overexposed subjects and bright backgrounds
- how you can use white balance to help you take better portraits
You WILL need a flash for this class. If your camera came with a built-in flash, that is sufficient. You are also welcome to use an external flash if you have one
Who this course is for:
