Live Online Training - Basics of Photography

If you're still shooting in full automatic mode, don't be surprised that the photos often don't turn out as you might have imagined them. In this live online training course, you will learn the basics of digital photography and take control of your camera and the image result in the future. In addition to general information about photography, you will learn what light sensitivity is and how shutter speed and aperture interact with it.

Stay at home, make yourself comfortable and learn interesting things about photography with Sensorgrafie. All you need to do is have a stable Internet connection for the live online training, so you don't need to be from the Aachen city region. You're taking part in the training live — no recording. We meet via PC, tablet or smartphone in the virtual training room. There is then a recording of the training, available only to participants. So you don't necessarily have to take notes during the webinar. Concentrate on the content and ask questions directly (via chat or via your headset/microphone) if you don't understand something.

Online training is limited to a maximum of 8 participants in order to be able to guarantee the best possible and individual support during the training period. All explanations are accompanied by slide shows and examples. And if you don't understand something, you can ask your questions directly and get them answered. With weekly “homework” and small tests, you will be able to implement and verify what we have discussed earlier. You will deal intensively with your camera and the respective topics. You adjust your camera and try out the settings.

Can't find the settings? Don't know how to adjust the settings on your camera? No problem, you always have the opportunity to ask specific questions between lessons and I will explain how you can implement and apply what you have learned with your camera. You present the results to your photo trainer, who gives you feedback on your photos and tests. In addition, you will receive tips & tricks, suggestions and techniques on how you can continue to expand and deepen what you have learned even after the webinar in order to be able to constantly improve your own skills and experience.
