Cost: Free but you must register to attend
In this class, you will learn how to use aperture priority, shutter speed priority, and floating ISO to achieve a variety of results. You will be introduced to the over and under exposure technique if we have time. You will learn birding etiquette, photographer’s etiquette and strategies. You will practice what you have learned in the hands-on portion of the class.

We will meet at the Santa Rita Springs upper parking lot next to the Photography Club, then drive to Desert Meadows for the session. In case of inclement weather, we will meet in the Photography Club's Large Classroom. If you’d like to join us for lunch, then we will meet at Taco Giro on Abrego (Country Club of Green Valley).
