Digital Photography for Beginners (part 5 of 5) Scenery Strategies

  • Look for the right elements to include in the shot
  • Position them in the most appealing locations
  • Give a three-dimensional feel to the scene
  • Lead the viewer into the photograph.
  • Select the settings on your camera to enhance the scene

When
you apply these strategies, you’ll create photos resembling art that
you’ll want to frame and hang on the walls of your home!

To help
you perform some of the activities in class, the instructor (Den
DiMarco) will gladly prepare a “cheat sheet” for your specific camera.
Students who have used these cheat sheets in past classes found them
very useful and easy to follow. They (and we) highly recommend you take
advantage of this free handout.

To have one made for you, email
your camera’s make and model ( for example, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP1 or
Canon PowerShot ELPH 310 HS) to info@extraordinaryed.com. To give the
instructor enough time to prepare your cheat sheet, please send us your
camera information at least two days before the start of the class.

NOTE:
Bring your digital camera (and instruction manual, if available). This
class is not designed for iPhone (or cell phone) cameras.

$20 per individual class or $80 for the series
