Basics 2 Photography course in Bremen: Design with light

This workshop is aimed at anyone who has some experience with the camera and would like to develop their own skills. It is best if you have already attended the Basics 1 course before.

The course schedule:

• We start the day with a short refresher on ISO/aperture/time and blur.
• We then experiment with exciting highkey and lowkey lighting settings to bring out interesting motifs in an appealing way.
• Using the histogram, we can check the uniform distribution of brightness.
• In our large outdoor section, we transfer what we have learned from the morning to typical vacation and travel situations.
• We explain why it is so useful to have a white bath towel with you and work with small folding reflectors.
• At the end of the day, we evaluate our photos as part of the photo review.
