If you’ve been promising yourself that one of these days you’ll get around to figuring out what your camera can do, the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts can help.
The arts centre is hosting a few photography workshops coming up later this winter.
On Saturday, Feb. 24, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., there’s a Beginning Photography workshop, designed for “serious beginners who want to go beyond ‘point and shoot,’” as a course write-up says. You can learn about f-stops, shutter speed, depth of field, focus, white balance and more, with hands-on exercises to reinforce what you’re learning. Bring your camera, manual, batteries and tripod.
On Sunday, Feb. 25, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., there’s an iPhone Photography workshop, which will allow you to discover features such as burst mode, panoramic, video and tools for better composition. You’ll have hands-on shooting to reinforce the lessons.
Then, on Sunday, March 4, it’s Painting with Light Photography, giving students a chance to experiment with time exposures and light sources such as flashlights, camera flashes and other sources of light, with a time to practise shooting in Deer Lake Park. It runs from 4 to 9 p.m.
