Out Of Auto is a group lesson that focuses on using your DSLR or mirrorless camera in manual modes, so that you can document your family, travels, and life in the way that you choose to.

The photo here is from 2011, when my child was constantly running, and I had no idea how to work a camera! I spent a lot of time through trial and error, figuring out the ins and outs of how to use the manual functions on a camera. Since then, I have built a small photography business that captures beautiful school photos, memories with Santa, the very best musical moments at Roots & Blues, the fast action of field and snow sports, and milestone grad portraits as young adults step into the next stage of life. 
I remember the frustration of not knowing what the different features of my camera did, and not knowing how to make adjustments when my images weren't coming out as I wanted. This is an opportunity for you to receive all of the information that I had to dig for; the things that I didn't know I didn't know! 

Out Of Auto is a beginner lesson that will go over the basics of exposure, including aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and simple exposure metering. We will also touch on different focus types, white balance, image composition, and different lenses and what the numbers on them mean. The lesson style is casual and conversational; questions are encouraged.

This is a hands-on learning opportunity, meaning that you will be exploring your personal camera throughout the lesson. We will not be going into the specifics of different camera brands or models, rather we will learn about the basics of cameras in general, and then you will apply that to your camera. (With the help of myself or a classmate if needed.) 

For this class, you will want to bring your DSLR or mirrorless camera, any lenses in your collection, a clear memory card, charged battery (or multiple batteries), your camera manual in paper or digital format, and a list of questions so you don't forget them during class.
