Class description

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.
