MOMMY/DADDY & ME PHOTOGRAPHY Ages 6 - 8
Parents, children and photography have been a mainstay of recording our families' histories. With today's more sophisticated and inexpensive point and shoot digital cameras, it actually may be the children who are the experts in their use. These classes will cover basic camera functions, but will also encourage that special element every child seems to have an abundance of – the desire to experiment. Maybe Mom and Dad will catch on too! Photo fundamentals, light, composition, people and places, subjects and exposure will be defined. Please bring a digital point and shoot camera, it's manual and a spare battery. After taking this class, your holidays and vacations photos will be a source of pride.
